It is part of a series of monolingual books produced with Aanjibimaadizing, a program of the Mille Lacs Band that means \"Changing Lives.\" Through the Aanjibimaadizing Project, fourteen first speakers teamed with linguists, teachers, and Ojibwe language experts to create this new literature for Ojibwe language learners. Conceived and written only in Ojibwe, the stories reflect a rare authenticity as they transmit cultural values, increase vocabulary, and reinforce identity; the stories are designed to both entertain and educate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGe-ni-aabadak Giniigaaniiminaang\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is intended for younger readers of Ojibwe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by Anton Treuer and Michael Sullivan Sr. Illustrated by Wesley Ballinger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnton Treuer, professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University, is the author of The Language Warrior's Manifesto and fourteen other books on Indigenous history and language.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMichael Sullivan is the resident linguist for the Waadookodaading Ojibwe Language Immersion School on the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWesley Ballinger, a Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe artist, is a community engagement coordinator for the American Indian Studies Department at the University of Minnesota.
