We have a full day of Ojibwe immersion here, so we don't use any English at all.
And everything that they are learning about in the school and state standards is in Ojibwe through our cultural curriculum.
We follow the 13 Moon Ojibwe calendar and we teach all of the standards through cultural activities of what Anishinaabe people are learning about or our cultural teachings at that time of year.
I don't necessarily think that they would be exposed to all of that if they were following the public school curriculum.
So it's nice because they learn it and they go home and they have so much to teach their families about what they're learning about.
