Barbara Nolan launched a series of online videos last month to introduce Anishinaabemowin to the very youngest members of the community.

Nolan , 77 , is an elder born in Wiikwemkoong First Nation , and a residential school survivor.

Nolan says many residential school survivors had their language taken from them, a dispossession she actively resisted.

Locals in Garden River have told her how much they like the efforts. “They will stop me on the street and they say, Barbara , my little granddaughter, she likes your video. She just loves you, you know,’ and that is so rewarding for me to hear,” Nolan said. “It’s for the kids. I have done that for the kids.”.
