You are a tremendously gifted communicator James, these videos are a joy. Thank you for making and sharing them with us.
"We are all interconnected..." i learn this more and more each year. Thank you
Thank you, brother. Good to hear this message after spending a week with family celebrating the life of my sister.
This is such a powerful lesson on how to pray from a place of love instead of selfishness ❤ Your teachings are so important, and we are so grateful. Miigwech.
Yes this video is excellent ❤️
Thank you for teaching all of us....I have always been drawn to Native ways of seeing the world, but as an American, I feel fragmented in a way, not embracing the mainstream culture, and yet not knowing exactly where I belong. Perhaps the journey is most important. I keep coming back to simplicity and connection with Mother Earth. I so appreciate the love you bring to your lessons. This is a time of healing and forgiveness for all of us. Gidinawendimin!!!
Perhaps one of the most powerful words and lessons for us these days. Imagine how different our wold, relationships with others, and how much more caring we'd be towards ourselves, if we remembered and practiced this each day. A similar concept in Buddhism is metta (loving-kindness), and it's practiced for ourselves first, then for close loved ones, then to those with whom we're impartial, then to our enemy and finally towards all beings. I'm going to remember this word and practice its lessons each evening too. Miigwetch🙏
Well done James! Miigwech!
This is so awesome, I'm ojibwe from Michigan. I'm just now starting to embrace my heritage. Why it took so long I don't know but better late than never. What's beautiful is that I'm also a Christian. God has amazing plans for the native people. I want ojibwe to be my primary language and English to be second language because the truth is that English is the real foreign language to North America not the Anishnaabe language.
Miigwech for Sharing! Aapiji gwa Niishin!
An Ojibwa ancestor is a new revelation for me. I was adopted at birth, met my birth mother’s family in my 30’s and doubted the indigenous claim they made as it seemed like a 70’s fashionable claim.
She would be at least 7 generations ago before Michigan was a state when my European ancestor settled there after escaping England where he was being hunted down for killing a deer in “the King’s woods”.
Ive been slowly researching evidence of these family stories.
Since childhood, I’ve had dreams and visions of a native young woman that I thought was a childs over active imagination, wishful thinking and from all the books I read…I grew up in Iowa and was obsessed with the history and knowledge of the tribes there before Europeans. When I was exploring the woods amd getting eating alive by mosquitoes she told me to take the clay mud from the creek and smooth it over my skin and I would be protected. I did. You should have seen my mom and dad’s faces when they saw me coming out of the woods that day. My face and arms grey with the clay.
Im still digging through geneological records to find her name. Its overwhelming for me to realize that my ancester made her choices, with the support of her parents and community, in life; thinking as far into the future as 7 generations…possibly of me. The sacrifices she made.
I will find her and reconnect links of our lineage. She will be more than just a legend told at family reunions. For, without her, I would not be.
Would there be tribal records going back to late 1700, early 1800’s that would have recorded life and her marriage?
Resources to consider for this are church records and government records too, this language was not written on paper until 1840's, older birchbark scroll languages were but they may have only been understood by the medicine society. It is something to consider when talking about records. You can trace geneological records to give you an idea of where this ancestor was and what they were doing. Covering yourself in mud and having a vision as a child could be inspired by a dozen different scenarios, nothing mystical runs in your blood from an ancestor you don't have the name of but you should learn about them it is healing. It is hard the further you go back, you gave a big range of date if I go back to the year 1720 one of my ancestors was Aniquiba a chief and military leader and that is something that always leads more papertrail and oral trail until papers, if your ancestors father or son or grandson were in any wars that would narrow things down, if they were women and they were important leaders it could still help. My ancestor Massaw for example did so much to help her people it makes it easier to find qnd connect the details , you really just have to work your way backwards and if you never find what you are looking for I hope you still learn and apply the positive practices in Anishinaabe teachings, and tell others about them aswell. I would say get an Ancestry account to help map out your family history. The ancestory account helped me understand how I was related to the people I saw at my tribal heritage center. I went a few times before I had mapped it out and used ancestry and It was very informational but I didn't feel the connection or understand these people. After learning and going back the pictures, the names, the leaders, the signatures, they were my family and I could recognize them.
Your channel was just shared to me. Thank you for such great content.
Thank you for sharing the teachings of your culture to help bring awareness to others such as myself. I love learning about different cultures and how they relate to myself and each other. Miigwech.
