Boozhoo!
Welcome to the Ojibwe Language and Culture Education Homepage

The purpose of the Ojibwe Language and Culture Education program (OLCE) is to support pre-service teachers in increasing their understanding and knowledge base of Ojibwe language, history and culture. Students in this program will also have an understanding of best practice when working with Ojibwe youth. Scholarships and living stipends are available for students who major in both the OLCE program and elementary or secondary education.

The OLCE program is funded by a grant from the U. S. Office of English Language and Acquisition.

Native Teachers for the Seventh Generation is funded by a grant from the U.S. Office of Indian Education.

These grants are in place due to demonstrated need for culturally sensitive and bilingual teachers in K-12 programs in Duluth and surrounding areas. The Native student population far outweighs available resources, including teachers, for effective education.  Within our Native youth lives the future success and well-being of our community.
