In this final episode of Season 1, of “Enweying - Our Sound” we reflect on our families’ journey since creating the podcast the feedback we have received since creating it and the emotions brought on with this podcast moving across Turtle Island through this “big spiders web.” We share some moments we are grateful for as we created this podcast and how it has helped us for the better moving forward as a family in our Anishinaabemowin Immersion household journey.
In saying this, by episode 6 we feel we finally have the audio down pat BUT in doing so LISTEN AT YOUR OWN WILL because Mshkogaabwid Kwe’s LAUGH will blow your eardrums out/may break speakers. We caution you at: 5:45, 12:30, 18:40, 21:38, 37:40, 50:40 minute marks.

FULL Interview with Kate Adach from CBC.  18 Minutes of this interview was broadcasted on CBC’s Program: Unreserved, as well as through CBC Indigenous.  In this 53 min interview solely with Mshkogaabwid Kwe (Emmaline) hear the more in-depth answers Emmaline shares and digs deeper into her and Ozaawaa’s (Monty) backstory as a couple. We speak on normal challenges we face as a family, facing a pandemic as well as raising our children in a Anishinaabemowin-Immersion household. Mshkogaabwid Kwe opens up about moments that make it difficult, being isolated as Second Language learning parents, and how the pandemic has changed dynamics of this journey, and what it is the drives her and her family to keep going. Listen in if you’d like to hear her take on her families’ journey to revitalize the language and preserve it. **** I also want to apologize to those I may have offended when I referred to “Moana goes on in Hawaiian” I know I was really referring to Te reo Maori language. It was not an ignorance thing but a slip of the tongue being nervous. I apologize again as I am very aware these languages are not the same. Both languages and their many dialects and sub dialects are so beautiful and unique. I want to acknowledge this. ****Follow Enweying on Instagram: @oursound.enweyinglinktr.ee/enweying.oursound

In this episode, we talk about why children should learn grammar...kind of. We give our reasons in how and why children and adults need to learn the grammatical aspects of the language. We also discuss why adults need to know the more technical aspects of Anishinaabemowin and how we share our knowledge of 'grammar patterns' with our children. 
We talk about the importance of us as learners, reading to our children. We debunk an aspect of the language learning myth that 'children and adults learn (or acquire) language the same way'!

During this episode we touch on times we have struggled trying to stay motivated and encouraged while parenting in an Anishinaabemowin Immersion household.
