Kwey – Spring

Posted on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025

As part of Algonquin College’s commitment to expanding the traditional Anishinàbe (ah-nish-in-AHH-bay) Algonquin Nation language on Headshot of Anita Tenasco campus, we are sharing vocabulary, phrases and information to familiarize learners and employees with the traditional language.

There are two terms for spring in the Anishinàbe Algonquin language. Sigwan (SEE-gwan) is the word that describes the early spring season. Minokamin (min-OAK-A-min) is a word that describes the later part of spring.

For more information visit the Kwey – Indigenous Language Project website.
