About

Today, Leah and Cole chat with Tony Drews (first-generation direct descendent of Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe), a lifelong student of Ojibwe culture and language. 
 
As president and founder of Nashke Native Games, Drews talks about his background in education and how he has found ways to better engage native students in their culture. He describes how excited the students are with these games that not only teach language, but the meaning and history behind the words. 
 
Drews is also the program coordinator for the American Indian Family Empowerment Fund at the Tiwahe Foundation. 
 
 Miigwech, Tony, for sharing your story!
