Geget sa, the night sky is full of stories of the Anishinaabeg. Our clans in the night sky make preparations to welcome the gete-Anishinaabeg, the Elders, when it is their time to leave the earth world.
In our sacred stories, Wenabozho tells us where we come from. In the summer the Wenabozho constellation points the way to the Bagonegiizhig. We have stories of sky woman, of the 7 sisters, and of our 13 grandmothers. It is where our mitigwakik ( water drum) originates from and where our doodem/clan system comes from and where we derived our bloodlines from. It is the place of Niizhwaaso gikinoo'amaagewinan ( the 7 Grandfather and Grandmother Teachings). What else can be said about the Bagonegiizhig? In Anishinaabeg aadizookaanan (Ojibwe stories) the Bagonegiizhig is considered to be aaniindi nitam anishinaabeg gaa-ondaadiziwaad, literally, "there where the first human beings came from" our Origin. Still, an attempt has been made to compose the list from an ancient (pre-contact) ² Anishinaabe perspective to stay as close as possible to the connections that exist with the Anishinaabe language, worldview, and places of origin in which the Gete-Anishinaabeg ezhi-nanda-gikenindizowaad (ancestral Ojibwe self-identitiy) is embedded. The list, therefore, is far from complete and limited in its cultural and spiritual accuracy. Also, there are many, many ways to tell a story. It is also important to understand that the list contains words and descriptions that cannot be thoroughly understood without complete experiential and contextual understanding of their (spiritual) significance. weather permitting.Ģ7th: First quarter Moon close to Mars in evening sky.Ģ8th: Jupiter and Venus very close at sunset.Ĭheck out TAS’s events calendar at miinawaa odakiimiwaan (Ojibwe homelands) are vast and have many regional dialects and stories it should therefore be noted that the planets/stars and star constellations and asterisms have various different names and meanings, depending on the oral tradition of the community and the region in question.
