Critics, including former staff and Indigenous language speakers, say the office has wasted millions on flashy events instead of meaningful language revitalization efforts. One Ojibwe speaker called the $10 million conference a distraction from real needs like teaching programs. Internal documents reveal a toxic work environment with unresolved harassment claims and staff attrition, though officials claim they’ve made improvements and are bringing in an HR advisor to fix governance. The commissioner admits early challenges but insists they’ve built a solid foundation for future success. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
