Sustaining Language, Sustaining Meaning-An Ojibwe Story on Speaking of Faith from American Public Media.

Language is a carrier of human identity. It is a vehicle by which we understand and express our very sense of self. Novelist and translator David Treuer is helping to compile the first practical grammar of the Ojibwe language. In Sustaining Language, Sustaining Meaning, An Ojibwe Story, he describes an unfolding experience of how language shapes us culturally and spiritually. Some memories, Treuer believes, can only be carried forward by Ojibwe.
