[Audio] Anishinaabe people and Our Homelands "Anishinaabeg," which means the "True People" or the "Original People. Anishinaabe consists of three First Nations: the Algonquin, the Cree, and Ojibwe. They share a similar language and cultural base, including Chippewa, Odawa, Potawatomi, Nipissing, and Mississauga First Nations. As semi-nomadic hunters, fishers, and gatherers, the Anishinaabe moved with nature's cycles..

[Audio] The Anishinaabeg have roles and responsibilities to care for each other as well as the lands, waters and all of creation. These roles and responsibilities are outlined in Chi-Naaknigewin and other laws that are part of the governing system of the Anishinaabeg The Anishinaabe are basically monotheistic, although some also refer to Mother Earth as worthy of reverence The men were responsible for providing food, shelter and clothing. Women were responsible for the domestic sphere and were viewed as both life-givers and the caretakers of life.

[Audio] Moving further, I remember that One beautiful October evening, my family and I explored into the center of our ancestor's land on the rising full moon. Under the full moon, we went through the cold woods, the sound of our footsteps adding with the wind's murmurings through the trees and the fragrance of sweetgrass filling the air. We were gathered around a raging fire, surrounded by the vibrant colors of the autumn sky, and bundled up in several layers of soft blankets. Our singing and giggles were appreciated by the flames. As we recited stories that had been passed down from our ancestors, we felt a strong feeling of connection to the land and to each other. We laughed and showed love for one other as we danced under the stars, honoring the traditions of our people and the wisdom of the planet. We spoke about past acts of bravery and our connections to the land. As we heard each tale, our relationship to our family became stronger. This is the time when I felt that like Anishinaabe people me and my family are also connected to each other and land as well..
