Kwey – Gathering Strength

Posted on Tuesday, March 4th, 2025

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

Nawapon (NAW-wah-PUN) is an Algonquin word that translates to “gathering strength for the journey.” Nawapon is located next to the Ishkodewan courtyard at the Ottawa Campus and is often used as a gathering place.
