Purpose of the Bibliography The purpose of the Manitoba Aboriginal Languages Strategy Annotated Bibliography is to provide a catalogue of Aboriginal language materials that are accessible from many sources throughout Canada and the United States. The Aboriginal languages that are included in this document are from Manitoba. They consist of Cree, Dakota, Dene, Inuit, Michif, Ojibwe-Cree, and Ojibwe. In addition to the Aboriginal language sections, there is a section with multi– Aboriginal language resources. Another important role of this annotated bibliography is to give teachers who are teaching the languages in Manitoba access to resources to help in the delivery of their language programs. “Unless continuous efforts are made to preserve the seven Aboriginal languages spoken in Manitoba, only three are expected to survive much beyond the 21st century (Cree, Ojibwe, and Dakota).” 1 This annotated bibliography will also be helpful in the metropolitan area of Winnipeg, Manitoba because Winnipeg has the highest Aboriginal population according to the Stats Canada census for 2016 (see Appendix 4 - Census 2016 Information). The MALS Annotated Bibliography identifies the authors (in alphabetical order), dates of publication, book titles, and publishers. Each book in the annotated bibliography is categorized using age charts beneath the entries. The categories are as follows: Early Years (EY): kindergarten to grade 4; Middle Years (MY): grades 5–8; Senior Years (SY): grades 9–12; Adult: age 18+; TK: teaching kits; and CG: curriculum guides. Other features include concise descriptions of the resources and the locations where the resources are available for loan or purchase. At the end of the document is a resource list of names, addresses, telephone numbers, and website addresses. A chart is provided in Appendix 1 – Resource Titles by Language, which includes resources available in each of the languages.

iv Manitoba Aboriginal Languages Strategy
About the Manitoba Aboriginal Languages Strategy To revitalize, retain, and promote Aboriginal languages for Manitoba.
Background The Manitoba Aboriginal Languages Strategy (MALS) working group is guided by Indigenous Knowledge Keepers; it exists in order to revitalize, retain, and promote Aboriginal languages for Manitoba. The following groups act as co-leads for the working group meetings: Indigenous Inclusion Directorate (IID), Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre (MFNERC), University College of the North (UCN), and Indigenous Languages of Manitoba (ILM).
Purpose The main purpose of MALS is to ensure interconnectedness of the newly established MALS working groups, and to collaborate, strategize, share, and plan on Aboriginal language and cultural programming and resources.
Goals The goals identified include that . we have a system in place for sharing resources and expertise . we have a partnership protocol, with a strategy and working groups to keep our languages alive . there is an Aboriginal research group focusing on language . we use a communication strategy to promote Aboriginal languages in communities, schools, families, and various audiences . we have more fluent speakers/teachers teaching language in classrooms and other places, and places of learning
