This work was particularly influenced by the oral and written work of Asinykwe (Edna Manitowabi), Gdigaa Migizi (Doug Williams), Robin Greeneba, Mark Thompson-ba, John Borrows, Wendy Makoons Geniusz, Neal McLeod, Kiera Ladner and the artistic works of Rebecca Belmore. Chi’miigwech to Ursula Pflug for encouraging me to fill out forms, and to Patti Shaughnessy for continuing to organize fabulous and inspiring events in my community.  \nEdna Manitowabi continues to have a deep and profound influence on my thinking, research and writing. Chi’miigwech to my Elder and friend Edna for her brilliance and power in sharing Nishnaabeg philosophies, traditional stories, language, teachings and songs. Over the past ten years I have learned a tremendous amount from Edna in terms of Nishnaabeg thought, philosophy and values, particularly from the perspectives of women. Edna’s teachings have made me into a better Nishnaabekwe. I particularly thank Edna for her contribution “Grandmother Teachings,” found in Chapter 2.  \nGchi’miigwech to my Elder, teacher, intellectual mentor and friend Gdigaa Migizi (Doug Williams) who spent a great deal of time patiently engaging with me and gently  \nanswering my questions. From June to December 2010, we discussed nearly every concept found in this book, and Chapter 3 is very much based on Gdigaa Migizi’s knowledge. Gdigaa Migizi’s understanding of Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg philosophy, traditional teachings, language, and intellectual traditions is vast and complex. He has made me into a better Michi Saagiik Nishnaabekwe. I have tried my best to communicate the essence of both Doug and Edna’s teachings in a good way, any mistakes are all mine.  \nChi’miigwech to language expert and Elder Shirley Williams who took the time to answer my questions about language and explain to me her understandings of the con","cbCailAzvHrf0q99","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailAzvHrf0q99","pdf",1376191,217,"English","# Dedication\n# Gchi ’Miigwech\n# Nishnaabeg Resurgence: Stories from Within\n## Theorizing Resurgence from within Nishnaabeg Thought\n## Gdi-nweninaa: Our Sound , Our Voice\n## Niimtoowaad Mikinaag Gijiying Bakonaan (Dancing on Our Turtle’s Back): Aandisokaanan and Resurgence\n## Bubbling Like a Beating Heart: A Society of Presence\n## Resurgence in our Political Relationships\n## Protecting the First Hill: Nurturing Eniigaanzid in Children\n## Shi-kiin: New Worlds\n# About the Author","[{\"question\":\"What is the central focus of Dancing On Our Turtle's Back?\",\"answer\":\"The book centers on Nishnaabeg re-creation, resurgence, and a new emergence, presented through stories rooted in Nishnaabeg thought and community life.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book describe resurgence in relation to community and relationships?\",\"answer\":\"It includes “Resurgence in our Political Relationships” and “A Society of Presence,” emphasizing how resurgence operates within social, cultural, and communal bonds.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the dedication and acknowledgements highlight?\",\"answer\":\"The dedication and acknowledgements thank the author’s next generation and recognize elders, language experts, and contributors whose teachings and support shaped the book’s thinking, writing, and language grounding.\"}]","Dancing On Our Turtle's Back - Aandisokaanan and Resurgence | PDF",1789960108,334]
