"An aboriginal and non aboriginal storytelling collaboration creating language learning items for children of all colours."
FOUR Colours Productions consists of an ever changing team of artists, language teachers and translators, designers and educators. Our mission is to help in the battle to preserve languages by creating language books and materials that utilize and employ local talent and create a new tool for expression and teaching. As language resources for languages like Ojibwe are far less than in English we feel this is a worthy and needed mission. We would eventually like to also utilize technology but will do so with the arts as a main item of focus as children respond to visual stimulus. We feel that the arts and language are an inherent right and part of one's being and culture. We feel that through collaboration we can create more books that are of a high quality at a lower cost of time and money than if one person were to do so on their own. We also feel that through this collaborative process we can attain new perspectives and ideas that we would not otherwise have attained alone.
