No idea. But in his/her about s/he says:

Ninchimookomaaniw, gaawiin nindanishinaabewisiin, dash ninanda-gikendaan
i’iw ojibwemowin. Ambegish gaawiin gegoo wanibii’iganziwaan!

I'm a white American, not an Indian, and I'm learning Ojibwe. I hope I
don't write anything wrong. (which is morphologically wrong: it should be
wanibii'anziwaan, or maybe wanibii'igesiwaan, but I don't know how those
antipassives work with quantifiers in SWO).

(Also the title of the blog means  Really.)   The dialect seems to be
Southwest Ojibwe, but modern speakers shorten the nin(d)- prefix to in(d)-,
so s/he's probably not doing fieldwork.

FWIW
