Scope and content

Series consists of cassettes of beginner level Ojibwa language lessons and accompanying textbook "The Ojibway language Course Outline for Beginners," by Basil Johnston. The series includes one edition of this textbook, and two spiral-bound copies of the original compiled from photocopies.
Johnston’s course was published in 1978 by the Indian and Inuit Affairs Program (now Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs), Education and Cultural Support Branch, under the authority of Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs J. Hugh Falkner. Lessons cover nouns and commonly used verbs, followed by an extensive list of prefix and suffix modifiers. The lesson format emphasizes listening and repetition.

Notes area

Physical condition

Cassettes are labeled on container spine and cassette sides. Sound is recorded on both sides. Several cassettes towards the end of the series have had breaks repaired with splice tape: all breaks at the end of the magnetic tape near side A take up reel. No significant sound loss. Some pressure pads have detached and been replaced. Indicated in audio that the cassettes are recorded from an earlier reel to reel format, which has caused one instance of doubling, and some missing recorded lessons. One cassette has been recorded with audio partially reversed.
