Anotations

Scope note:

System of belief of the Anishinaabe and other Great Lakes Native North American communities, commonly practiced in the pre-contact and historic periods. Declined in the 19th century by colonial pressures to convert to Christianity; resurged in the 20th century. The religion incorporates a structure of networked spiritual societies, initation rites, and community healing services. Ceremonies and rites are sourced from the spirit and culture hero Nanabozho.
