Wauban loves nothing more than to play outside and there is no better time for play than when spring comes. Wauban is learning to speak his Ojibwe language as a student of the Niigaane Program at the Bug O Nay Ge Shig School. He hopes that his podcast will encourage others to put down their gaming systems, go outside and just have fun being part of nature. He also hopes that those listening might pick up a few of the Ojibwe words and phrases he shares in this podcast.

Wachaga loves the season of sugarbush. It comes just as the snow begins to melt and the sap begins to run. She attends sugarbush each season as part of her school learning, and participates in tapping trees, collecting and moving sap, and boiling the sap into syrup. She shares in her podcasts many of the words and phrases she has learned related to this cultural practice and hopes that listening to it will inspire others to begin learning the complex and meaningful language of her culture.
