Abenaki Online Blog
The Abenaki Online Blog features posts supporting language reclamation, including School of Abenaki resources, grammar insights, Abenaki history, Elder Cécile Wawanolet’s 1990s Missisquoi lessons, songs, videos, audio, jokes, riddles, reviews, and community updates.
Abenaki Online is a free language reclamation repository. Our remote learning classes are designed for those with little to no experience in the language. Nanawaldagik (Keepers) introduce the basic patterns in the language as easy-to-remember paired phrases, along with games, songs, group activities, and fun lesson-specific worksheets. Free to all Abenaki people regardless of card or country, and open to all! Header image from THE MIDDLEBURY CAMPUS article, “School of Abenaki pilots first summer remotely.”
We spent our first Middlebury summer online. This experience gave us the power to gather and grow when miles apart. We’ve maintained these remote classes year-round ever since. Spend a summer at the Middlebury Language School of Abenaki and you’ll experience the single most effective method for rapid language acquisition: a total immersion environment with the Language Pledge®—a promise to read, write, listen, and speak Abenaki. No experience required. Free to all Abenaki people, but space is limited.
