Anishinaabeg stories : featuring petroglyphs, petrographs, and wampum belts
Lynn Gehl (Author)
"The stories in this book offer the reader a greater understanding of the Anishinaabeg knowledge philosophy and way of life. To help convey the deep knowledge inherent, and to accommodate visual learners, several ancient symbols and icons have been incorporated. The stories in this book are organized as 13 short chapters, 3 crossword puzzles, and 14 visuals which include the re-creation of petroglyphs, petrographs, wampum belts, photographs, as well as digital art. A special element is a discussion and visual of the 3 wampum belts exchanged during the 1764 Treaty at Niagara. The chapter organization begins with the creation story and unfolds to include chapters on the tree nation, the sacred pipe, the clan system, debwewin (truth) journey, the treaty process, and uranium mining and nuclear fission. This book has a larger font size and is 100 pages in length. Both community members and people interested in Indigenous knowledge philosophy will find this book a valuable read. It will make a great gift item too."--Www.lynngehl.com
