Description

Within nineteenth-century Ojibwe/Chippewa medicine societies, and in communities at large, animals are realities and symbols that demonstrate cultural principles of North American Ojibwe nations. Living with Animals presents over 100 images from oral and written sources – including birch bark scrolls, rock art, stories, games, and dreams – through which animals appear as kindred beings, spirit powers, healers, and protectors.

Michael Pomedli shows that the rules at play in these sources aren’t merely evidence of cultural values, but in addition unique standards brought to treaty signings by Ojibwe leaders. As well as, these principles are norms against which North American treaty interpretations must be reframed. The creator provides crucial foundation for ongoing treaty negotiations, and for what latest Ojibwe cultural figures corroborate as ways of leading a excellent, integrated life.
