7 Ojibwe Grandfather Teachings

James Vukelich “Kaagegaabaw,” a descendent of Turtle Mountain, is an international speaker, author, & the creator of Ojibwe Word of the Day. His mission is to inspire people to live the good life by sharing ancient wisdom to influence modern solutions through an Indigenous perspective. ​James is recognized as a leading voice on the interconnectedness of language & culture. His keen insights were developed through speaking with and recording elders and Native language speakers (many of whom have since passed on) in Canada, Michigan, and Minnesota as part of the Ojibwe Language Dictionary Project. ​In addition to keynote speeches for academic, philanthropic, business and community organizations, he facilitates community roundtable groups, and conducts spiritual ceremonies in his community. He has consulted with school districts, colleges, historical societies and government agencies to develop and teach language and cultural programs. He has also been featured on numerous podcasts, radio & television programs in addition to publications.
