(Our language is our life)
Storybook is an online Potawatomi language resource developed by Eric Janofski and produced by the Hannahville Indian Community's Language Department.
What we have created is an interesting and fun online resource that contains fully translated stories with rich understandable language concepts for Potawatomi students.
This resource includes video lectures explaining the stories, a glossary-based word-clickable feature that allows users to click on any word to find out what that word means, and several vocabulary games to practice your words.
