Back by popular demand, join Joseph Pitawanakwat, Andrés Jiménez, and Junaid Khan (Creators Garden Birds) for a continued exploration of the deep ecological knowledge held within Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe language) bird names.

In this new session, the presenters will introduce different bird species than those discussed previously, offering insights into how Anishinaabemowin reflects relationships, responsibilities, and the roles these beings play within the natural world.

Where western scientific naming often highlights physical traits or geography, Anishinaabemowin reveals stories, behaviours, and connections guiding us in how we can better support bird populations for generations to come.

Whether you’re joining for the first time or returning from the previous session, this gathering offers new teachings, perspectives, and relationships to learn from.

Registration is available at no cost to all Indigenous people, and on a sliding scale to non-Indigenous participants. 

These registration fees help to cover the costs of future Indigenous language courses, including paying teachers, facilitators and Elders appropriately, and makes the learning available to those whose language was stolen.

Attend this event online on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, from 5:00–6:30 PM ET.

The session will be recorded shared with everyone who has registered.
