Native tongue: MSU classes help Ojibwe language survive

The Ojibwe word that Autumn Mitchell likes best is “pkwezhigaans.”
Literally, it means “little bread.” Practically, it can mean cookies, crackers or muffins. It’s the same word for all three.
It’s not a word she’s known for very long, but she sees it as a part of her history all the same or, perhaps better, a part of her heritage.
