Bagone Giizhig: The Hole in the Sky / Aaniindi Nitam Anishinaabeg Gaa-Ondaadiziwad / Where the First People Came From
Synopsis:
"Aadizookaanan or Sacred Stories were passed down for thousands of years, filling the long winter nights with Anishinaabeg oral histories, philosophies, and ceremonies. Bagone-Giizhig is one of the many ancient stories that Anishinaabeg Ancestors have gifted us. The constellations of Wenaboozhoo and Bagone-Giizhig rise in the East during the Winter season. This signifies when it is time to share Aadizookaanan and reminds the Anishinaabeg of where they come from. These cultural Teachings shine bright in the night sky and this is the Anishinaabe way of life."
Text in English translation and in the original Anishinaabemowin/Ojibwe.
