Anishinaabe Gikinoo'amaadiwin was formerly known as "Indian Education". We are still here, and we are still the same program. We have adopted a new name in an effort to become more culturally aware and reflect the correct identity of our students. Anishinaabe Gikinoo'amaadiwin means "Ojibwe Education" in the Ojibwe language. 

Anishinaabe Gikinoo'amaadiwin is pronounced:
uh-nih-shih-nah-bay gih-kih-new uh-mah-dih-win

Our team would be happy to help you pronounce this. Please swing by any of our classrooms and ask!
