Ojibwemowin Street Signs in an American City Indicates the Anishinaabe Are Taking Over

In a stunning development, the city of Bemidji Minnesota has been take over, GASP,by the Ojibwemowin. Street signs, restaurants, public building are all nowin Ojibwemowin.

And it's spreading, north to Warrord, east to Grand Rapids, south to Detroit Lakes and west to East Grand Forks.

The name of Bemidji (translated, Crossing Waters)will not change, since it's already in Ojibwemowin. The Mississippi River, will be called by it's original American name, Misi-Ziibi.

A major name change will take place when, Lake Ithaca, the headwaters of the Misi-Ziibi River, will be changed back to it's original American name, Bakegamaa (Elk Lake).

While everyone was worried about the Muslims taking over Michigan, we moved in and are ''Taking Back Our Country''....No Tea Party, but we do love black water medicine, coffee to you non speakers.

Of course the article is written in Ojibwemowin, but for you non speakers, click on the Thunderbird below for the English translation. Or you can dial 2.

There are an awful lot of street signs in English!

As Paul Revere would say, "The British are coming! The British are coming!"

We must prepare for the assault!

Dear Friend Kavika: What is the Ojibwemowin term for Winnebagel?

E.

 
 
 
Kavika
Professor Principal
link   seeder  Kavika     9 years ago

Good morning niijii.

Winnebagel is a hybrid word, combining the Ojibwemowin language and the Jewish language. It is it's own word, no translation necessary.

The OFFICIAL language of Turtle Island will be Ojibwemowin.

Ummm... OK...

Are foreign languages allowed? If not, you can probably expect a slight drop in the tourist trade...

Hey maybe the Russians will want Alaska back, then, they can fight it out with the Mo's and lose.
