Oji-Cree, also known as Severn Ojibwe or Anishininiimowin, is an Indigenous Algonquian language spoken by the Oji-Cree (Anishinini) people of northern Ontario and northern Manitoba, Canada. Closely related to Ojibwe, Oji-Cree has been influenced by neighboring Cree languages, giving it a unique vocabulary and identity. Like other varieties of Ojibwe, some linguists consider Oji-Cree part of a larger Ojibwe language continuum, while others recognize it as a distinct language.  
Today, Oji-Cree remains one of the strongest Indigenous languages in Canada, with more than 15,000 speakers reported in the 2021 Canadian census. The language continues to be spoken in homes and communities across northern Canada, and ongoing education and revitalization efforts are helping ensure it is passed on to future generations. The Oji-Cree people number approximately 15,000–16,000, primarily in Ontario and Manitoba. Our Oji-Cree course was created by the Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre in 2012.
