It is estimated that fewer than 500 people in the United States speak the Ojibwe language. The Mille Lacs Band is seeking to deepen the resources available to advance the language. In that effort, the Band has partnered with the Minnesota Historical Society Press to publish three new monolingual Ojibwe books. These books are now available for pre-order.
MHS Press has published bilingual books in Ojibwe and English before, but monolingual Ojibwe publication marks a new direction. Earlier this year, MHS acquired four previously published monolingual Ojibwe books to add to their titles. The Mille Lacs Band will be the first to develop new monolingual material for first release and publication with MHS Press.
