In Our Own Words

Telling a more honest story means shifting how we teach and how we listen, and making room for more than one truth at a time. Watch our introductory video and take up the invitation to heal, remember, and teach with more love.

The Bundle:

Anishinaabe-Made Learning Resources

We have prepared this bundle of learning resources for educators, students, and all relatives in Michigan and beyond. A learning bundle is a collection of teachings, stories, and experiences that are brought together to support the growth of the whole learner—mind, body, and heart. Each part of the bundle has meaning, and together they create connections that support learners in balanced and purposeful ways. It reminds us that learning is not just for ourselves but is meant to be shared to strengthen our classrooms, our communities, and future generations.
