A pocket-sized book called Anishinaabemodaa, meaning Let's Speak Ojibwa, is being created to teach the language to the younger generation of Natives in Manitoba. Myrtle Thomas, one of the creators, was one of the few Natives to attend a Manitoba residential school during the Second World War. Thomas, who retained her language, can remember fellow students being strapped for speaking Ojibwa.
