The Minnesota Wild celebrated Native American Heritage Day in a unique and historic way: The team’s game against the Colorado Avalanche on Friday was broadcast entirely in Ojibwe, the first televised broadcast of its kind.
Ojibwe is an indigenous language of the Algonquian family spoken by the Anishinaabe people in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada.
The trio of broadcasters – Maajiigoneyaash Jourdain, Ombishkebines Gonzalez and Ginoonde Buckholtz – brought plenty of enthusiasm to their historic call, which Wild shared on social media.
