Boozhoo Nana Boozhoo: Blueberry Pie! miini-baashkiminasigani-biitoosijigani-bakwezhigan

our supercouple!!!!

Today we learned the Ojibwe word for blueberry pie.  Mmmm, blueberry pie!

Michael Lyons is the mastermind behind our favorite Ojibwe puppet couple - Nana Boozhoo and Natasha.  Today they taught us language through a song... in the video we also get a love song. These two are such a great example of a loving relationship....we're so glad to bring them to you on KAXE/KBXE.

You can see Michael Lyons September 25th at the Nett Lake School sponsored by our friends at KBFT - Bois Forte Tribal Community Radio!  You'll also have the chance to meet him at the Rural Arts and Culture Summit in Grand Rapids October 3-5th. 

And check out the YouTube video of our friends as well!
