Humility was the sixth gift given to the Anishinaabek by the seven grandfathers. Humility is to know yourself as a sacred part of creation. Humility is represented by Ma'iingan, the wolf.
Ma'iingan was the brother of Nanaboozhoo. He was a skillful hunter and a great provider to Nanabush and Nookmis. The spirits had seen that Ma'iingan had killed more in creation than he needed too and became very angry with him. The spirits relayed this message to Nanabush, and Nanabush had told Ma'iingun to honour creation and only take what was necessary.
One day Ma'iingan was crossing a frozen lake with a deer he had just killed. He was headed back to the lodge when the ice broke and fell through and drowned. It was Zagima, the great horned serpent who had killed him.

(Bravery)

Bravery was the fourth gift given to the Anishinaabek by the Seven Grandfathers. Bravery is to face your foe with integrity. Bravery is represented by M'kwa, the bear.
One day a little girl had seen that her parents were very ill. Being unable to help them, she went into the bush to seek out help from the spirits. After praying to Creator for guidance a great white spirit bear revealed itself to her. She was very frightened at the sight of this large bear, but knew that he was sent by Creator to help her and her parents.
The great white spirit bear showed her where to pick a medicine that would help her parents get well. After picking the medicine and administering it to her parents, they soon began to heal. It was through this bravery that the Anishinaabek learned about the healing properties of Bear Root (Oshoa); and by studying the activities of bears and their knowledge of all medicines they have been able to help those in dire need.

Respect was the third gift given to the Anishinaabek by the Seven Grandfathers. To honour all of creation is to have respect. Respect is represented by mashkode bishiki, the buffalo.
This painting is in dedication to all of the Potawatomi Anishinaabek who were forced to relocate their bands from the old mid west Kansas after the Treaty of Chicago in 1833.
Not only does the buffalo represent the third grandfather teaching of respect, it was also one of the many clans of the Potawatomi Nation.
The crescent moon is represented in this painting as a dedication to another clan that was present in the western alliance of native warriors during the War of 1812. It is said that members of this clan were the fiercest warriors and that they would wear the crescent moon on their chest in times of battle. Soon after the War of 1812 this clan had dispers

(Love)

Love was the second gift given to the Anishinaabek by the Seven Grandfathers. To know love is to know peace. Love is represented by migizi, the bald headed eagle.
This painting is a dedication to my grandparents from seven generations ago. Quashmigo Kwe in the Anishinaabe language means "woman who pushes off", and Ogemawahj or Ogemawahjiwon means "Chief of the flowing waters." This painting is a dedication to them and the struggle they made when they decided to leave their village of Shawbe wa wa goning, Wisconsin with their eight children to seek a new life in the Penetanguishene, Ontario area of Georgian Bay back in 1835. Not only does the eagle in this painting represent love, but it also represents Ogemawahjiwon's clan and the clan of the entire patrilineal King family lineage that are his descendants.
The eagle is just on of many flyers that are apart of the bird clan. The bird clan was the final clan created by creator. It is represented by its profound spiritual leaders and those that are keepers of sacred knowledge, and are responsible for teaching this knowledge to the next generation.

Wisdom was the first gift given to the Anishinaabek by the Seven Grandfathers. To cherish knowledge is to know wisdom. Wisdom is represented by amik, the beaver.
One day Nanboozhoo was hunting the giant white beaver Waabmik. Transforming himself into a giant, Nanaboozhoo had chased the chief of the beavers from the western end of Lake Superior all the way to Georgian Bay. Having done this, Waabmik was thoroughly exhausted and had crawled halfway out of the water along the shoreline and turned himself into a stone to camouflage himself from Nanaboozhoo.
After spending many hours trying to find Waabmik, Nanaboozhoo began to hit the land with his war club. By doing this he had shattered the land into a maze of islands. These islands now exist today along the shoreline of Georgian Bay. Nanaboozhoo never did find Waabmik and still to this day you can still see him three miles north of Par

In a time long ago, there was a group of wondering Anishinaabek travelling about from place to place in search of game. The group stopped along a steep cliff side. The hunters of the group were preparing to go and search for food, while the rest stayed behind. The old medicine man of the group had noticed a spring nearby along the rock face. In the pool of the spring he noticed a sturgeon swimming in it. He discussed the sturgeon with the elders and said that this sturgeon was special and was not to be eaten. Before leaving on their hunting expedition the chief and the elders had instructed the people not to eat the sturgeon.
When the Chief and hunters came back to the people with their game, they noticed that the people were not people at all anymore. Someone had cooked the sturgeon up and all the people had joined in the feast. The Chief and hunters had seen that their relatives had been transforme

One of many thunder beings, Beskinek-Kwam is the one that gives a sharp crack and sets fire to the trees and land when it strikes lightening from its eyes.
The role of this thunder was to provide renewal to the land after a fire was set. It is through this teaching that Anishinaabe have created controlled burns in order to help those plants in dire need. Re-growth through this process is just another part to the many cycles of life.

The re-newer of power, this thunder was known to help those Anishinaabek who were in need of strength from sickness, grief and many other illnesses. It was the role of the Djasakid (conjuror) who would call upon the spirits of animals in a shaking tent ceremony to help those that needed help. These spirits would turn into human form while in the shaking tent lodge. This power of transformation was not uncommon in spirits.

After searching all over creation, Nanbush had finally found the serpents sleeping on a beach. As he drew near, the serpents recognized him and retreated back into the water. The next morning Nanabush returned to the beach and transformed himself into a stump so he wouldn't be noticed. The serpents came back to the beach to sun bathe when they noticed a stump. they had then employed Mishipizheu, the Great Water Lynx, to investigate their suspicion. After checking out the stump, Mishipizheu informed the serpents that it was just a stump. They then slithered up on the beach.

It has been passed down through oral tradition that the Anishinaabek had once lived on the east coast of Turtle Island hundreds of years ago. Times were tough at this time. To help through these tough times, the Great Spirit gave to the Anishinaabek the seven fires prophecy. One of these seven prophecies was the migration prophecy.
A young woman had a dream one night that she had seen herself travelling up river on the back of a giant turtle. They were headed west towards an Island shaped like a turtle. The elders interpreted this dream as the first prophecy that creator had sent to them. From understanding this dream they decided to migrate west along the great river until they reached a turtle shaped Island. Once they found the turtle shaped island they stayed for a while before moving on.
In this painting I have interpreted this dream.

As seen in many different styles, the star in the centre of the painting is a representation of the North Star (Giiwedinang). The North Star is the only star in the sky that never moves. It is constant, unwavering, a guide. In each cardinal direction of the North Star is the animalistic representation of each door way. In the east is the bald eagle, to the south is the deer, to the west is the buffalo, and to the north is the spirit bear. Also depicted around the star is the seven original clans of the Anishinaabe.
Loon (Maang) - This clan is known to be given the power of Chieftainship.
Crane (Ajijaak) - This clan is also known to be given the power of Chieftainship.
Turtle (Miskwaadesi/Giigoohn) - The turtle is the head of the fish clan. Known as intellectuals, the fish clan helps as arbitrators when disputes happen.
