Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS) is now offering an Ojibwe Language and Culture Course. Students in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade may earn high school credit after earning a passing grade in this Native language course. This course provides a great opportunity for students to learn the original Anishinaabe language of the Odawa and Ojibwe people of the Great Lakes area and to develop an appreciation for a Native language and culture. Students will use the language in the classroom for greetings and daily routines, becoming familiar with its sound system, writing system, daily vocabulary, and phrases.
“We are proud to offer a Native American world language course to our middle school students in grades 6-8,” commented TCAPS’ Associate Superintendent Dr. Jayne Mohr. “The purpose of the course is to develop an appreciation for the culture, and speak a native language. We are grateful to our partnerships with the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and Suttons Bay Public Schools in making this opportunity possible for our students.”
Please contact TCAPS’ Associate Superintendent Dr. Jayne Mohr at (231) 933-1777 for more information. To enroll your student please contact TC East Middle School at (231) 933-7300 or TC West Middle School at (231) 933-8200.
