From the website: This resource guide is indtended for teachers of Ontario Ojibwe and Cree. Its purpose is to organize, extend, and reinforce teachers' knowledge of the language patterns that occur in these Native languages, and to clarify and explain the structure and function of the various language elements (words and word parts) that make up these patterns. It is hoped that teachers will find the guide helpful in developing lessons and in evaluating teaching materials for their usefulness in fostering patterns that characterize these Native languages.
