Our Mission: The primary mission of Waadookodaading Ojibwe Language Institute (WOLI) is to create proficient speakers of the Ojibwe language who are able to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing world. It is a community and regional center for language revitalization while promoting intergenerational relationships.
Waadookodaading, The Place Where We Help Each Other, utilizes the gift of the Ojibwe language as a means through which students and the community can achieve the ultimate goal of Indigenous survival and tribal sovereignty through realization of personal, family, cultural, spiritual, environmental, and educational goals.

The mission of Waadookodaading is to create proficient speakers of the Ojibwe language who are able to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing world. The school will be a community center for language revitalization, local environmental understanding, and intergenerational relationships. We expect that students will be grounded in local language, culture, and traditions, while aware of global concerns. Our aim is to foster a love of learning while teaching the skills that will enable students to create solutions for our community and our planet.
