SCO sponsoring the Ojibway word and phrase of the day

By Grand Chief Morris Swan-Shannacappo
USA

"Boozhoo." There is an interesting story behind this word, which is often used
as greeting in my native language. The story was told to me by an Elder. It is
a long winter story about Nanaboozhoo and his task for naming plants and
animals.

I will talk more about this story and other stories in the future, but this time
I am using it as an introduction to my column which is about the value of our
Anishinaabe language and an exciting venture involving the Southern Chiefs'
Organization and NCI Radio.

I am delighted that SCO will be sponsoring the Ojibway word and phrase of the
day on NCI at about 9:50 am each weekday. It began at the beginning of August
and our sponsorship will run until Oct. 30.
