Aandeg Muldrew is an assistant professor in the Anthropology Department. He is an Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) language teacher and linguist, with family ties to Ireland, Scotland, Sandy Lake Ontario. He is a member of Lac Seul First Nation (Obizhigokaang) and the Crane clan (Ojijaak). Growing up in Winnipeg's West End and Norwood neighbourhoods, he learned Anishinaabemowin as a second language from his grandmother, professor Patricia Ningewance-Nadeau. He’s taught Anishinaabemowin since 2017 throughout Manitoba (including UWinnipeg’s Indigenous Languages programs and Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre), Ontario, and Minnesota, teaching at a university level, at community events, and in immersion

Aandeg seeks to further knowledge of Anishinaabemowin and Indigenous language revitalization methods and practices. His research interests include morphology, clause typing, phonetics, lexicography, as well as L2 acquisition, inter-generational trauma in Indigenous language revitalization, curriculum development, and Indigenous language media. Aandeg's current main project is documenting Anishinaabemowin spoken in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario for publication in a print and online dictionary.
