Attend the Ensa Biboon Nishinaabemowin Maawnjidiwin – Annual Language Conference 

For NFN Members and Affiliates 

To keep Nishnaabemwin alive, we must make time to speak it, hear it, and understand it. Learning and practicing our language is a sacred responsibility—one that honours our ancestors and empowers the next seven generations. Language lives when we choose to use it. 

This year’s gathering takes place March 26–28, 2026 in London, Ontario, with the theme: 

✨ Naadmowaadaa Eshkiniigjik Wii Anishinaabemowaat — Let’s Help Our Youth To Speak Our Language.

⭐ Claudette Commanda – Kaa-nii-iwe Kijikong Kinew

⭐ Patricia Ningewance – Waabi-bizhikiikwe 
⭐ Isadore Toulouse
