ojibwemowin environmental education curriculum
by Deanne Himango
Methods
The traditional stories were gathered via interviews with Ojibwe
elders and through research. All stories were gathered in the
traditional Ojibwe customs during the appropriate times of the
year and were hand recorded. Before each story was completed,
an informal council of elders reviewed the story content for accuracy.
A pilot test of the curriculum was carried out at the Fond du
Lac Reservation Ojibwe School in Minnesota targeting ninth and
tenth grade students. In addition, an evaluation plan was developed
and completed with revisions made to the curriculum based on the
evaluation results.
