The iconic galaxy far, far away has been brought closer to Ojibwe speakers. An Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) version of Star Wars: A New Hope has been released in a groundbreaking project that bridges pop culture with Indigenous heritage. The film features alum Aandeg Muldrew (MA ‘22, linguistics) and current linguistics PhD candidate Dustin Morrow (BA ‘21, MA ‘23, linguistics, Ojibwe language teaching certificate) as the voices of renowned characters Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, respectively.

The University of Minnesota premiere will be at the Coffman Theater on Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 6:00 PM. This event will be free and open to the public, and will feature a Q&A with the stars.
