The Students' Edition is highly recommended as your first purchase. It is for bilingual learners and speakers.



The Teachers' Edition comes with 2 Audio CD's, but everything is spoken in the language. It would be most useful for a fluent person who is beginning to teach. A student should purchase the Teachers' Edition only in order to hear the language as it is spoken by a person who thinks in Anishinaabemowin. It is also very useful as a resource to gauge how much understanding of the spoken language has been achieved.

CD-7



Released in 2010.

These songs are about what have been called the Seven Grandfather Teachings. The lyrics of these original songs are drawn from the philosophy of the teachings. The true meaning of the teachings can be found by really knowing what the words are saying in Anishinaabemowin. For example, the word "zaagi'idiiwin" talks about sharing a part of your inner self with another person rather than the English equivalent "love" which has a very vague definition which must be looked up in the dictionary to discern its meaning.

(beadwork circa 1910 by Sophie Parker, David's great-grandmother)

Sing & Learn with Helen Roy



Released in 2010. Booklet/Audio CD set.

These are curriculum-based original children's songs written about things commonly taught in the classroom. Topics covered include more than just what the titles refer to. For instance, the song "one Day" teaches about "parts of the day, directions, and outside temperatures". All songs are written with a lot repetition that children become accustomed to, in order to learn what is being taught to them. The music is fun to sing to. There is even a "rap" song, Numbers/counting covering numbers 1-10. The Relations songs are very interesting to many learners. The terms for relatives are different from a male's point of view compared to a female's point of view.

Songs:

Grandma's House (nokomis endaad)

Sounds of Things (inwewinan)

Occupations (inaangazhewinan)

Chores (anankiiwinan)

Eating Utensils (wiisini'nakaazawinan)

Food (miijim)

Animals (wesiinh'ag)
