Mikan

Inspired by moccasin game, Mikan is a finding game that passes on phrases in Anishinaabemowin. 

Although optimized for a mobile tablet display within a museum, families can now enjoy playing Mikan together at home. Anishinaabemowin is in Western dialect because the game was made for the Duluth Children's Museum in Minnesota.

Anishinaabemowin:

• Mikan - Find It
• Aaniin! - Greetings!
• Onaabandan! - Choose!
• Gagwe-mikan! - Try to find it!
• Jiimaan - Canoe
