Anishinabemowin: A Way of Seeing the World, Reclaiming My Identity

Abstract

Presented at Coming Together Conference, 2000, Sharingour Research, Practice and Indigenous Knowledge. Stories are enfolding lessons. Not only do they transmit validated experiences; but they also renew, awaken, and honor spiritual forces. Hence, almost every ancient story does not explain; instead it focuses on process of knowing.
