The images demonstrate a cross section of Anishinaabe Izhinamowin: the traditional worldview of the Ojibwe Anishinaabeg, who for the past 1000 years inhabit the North American Great Lakes area. Below is an illustrated glossary with the NAMES that go with the images. The NAMES in the drawing, 42 in total, have been listed below in alphabetical order. ________________________________________________________ The Universe of The Ojibwe Anishinaabeg by Zhaawano Giizhik - 2014 1
