Nesewin Breath Miimanda piiginwaabdamang gbimaadiziiwninaa ngobiboon gaanankiiyiing. Mii maanda pii’aansokewad minwaa kinomaagewad. Aambe bizinchkwedaa. This is when we take the time to re-evaluate life for this year. We also take time to listen to stories and teachings. Let’s listen. NESENDMING BIMAADZIWIN DIBAAJIMANG Breathing life into a story... It is a time to open our hearts, minds, and imaginations, while listening to our Elders share aansookaan, their knowledge, life lessons, and how to live Mno Bmaadziwin through telling the stories of Nanabush (the Trickster, Wiisaagiichik). It is only during these cold months that storytelling occurs. It is a time of laughter, but out of respect for the animals, plants, and trees, we only tell these stories while they are sleeping.
