Elizabeth: So, I'll fly to Thunder Bay, then go east by train to Spruce Narrows. Gary, the other teacher, will pick me up there and drive me to Mtigwaki. I have so many new words to learn. The only ones I'm sure of are the months, the days of the week, hello and goodbye. April: How do you say "hello" in Ojibway? Elizabeth: Boo-zhoo. April: And goodbye? Elizabeth: Mi-gwetch.
