0.0 stars

This text set focuses on the Anishinaabe names for the Wenabozho Ominisan. Wenabozho is an important Anishinaabe figure, a trickster. Ominisan is the Anishinaabe word for islands. Wenabozho Ominisan (the islands of Wenabozho) is the Anishinaabe way to refer to what is also known as the Apostle Islands archipelago. Some of the Anishinaabe island names and English names are literal translations. Yet, some of the Anishinaabe names describe a characteristic or use of the island in a manner different from the English names. The text set provides resources that will not only allow students to learn the Anishinaabe names but also provide insight into traditional uses and perspectives of these islands.
