Minawaanigwad vai!! (This is exciting!!)
Now speakers of Ojibwe and those who'd like to learn have a wonderful new reference tool created by the University Libraries, the U's American Indian Studies Department, and the Minnesota Historical Society. The Ojibwe People's Dictionary is a searchable, talking Ojibwe-English dictionary that features the voices of Ojibwe speakers. It is also a gateway into the Ojibwe collections at the Minnesota Historical Society. Along with detailed Ojibwe language entries and voices, you'll find beautiful cultural items, photographs, and excerpts from historical documents.

Library Course Pages are now available for all classes taught on the Twin Cities campus. Instructors can work with our librarians to customize their course pages, giving students one-stop access to reserve readings, chat reference, subject-specific resources, and much more.
