Red Lake Ojibwe Nation Chairman Floyd Jourdain Jr. offered tobacco to
11 persons gathered at the Little Rock Roundhouse on September 6 for
the purpose of exploring Ojibwe language revitalization at Red Lake.
Melvin Jones offered a prayer.

The meeting was attended by fluent speakers, elders and others
interested in aspects of Ojibwemowin revitalization.

“Ojibwe is now the official language of Red Lake,” said Jourdain, “and
that’s not just a public relations thing, we want to make it so. Many
things can be done, including encouraging more language and culture in
our schools.”
