Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 aho ... mitakuye oyasin ... for all our sacred relations ... for all the great spirits dwelling here, within! Millennium Twain ~~ ~~ NuQua GreatMother image, copyright Mokurne Sion, for educational distribution only ... ~~~ ~~~ HAUNTAYO Great Spirit, Chi-Manidoo Chi-Manidoo - is one of the Canadian Ojibwe expressions for "Great Spirit". A White version is "Gichi-Manidoo". There are also other versions of the spelling - the confusion lies in the White attempt to articulate the oral words using English or French spelling. Other versions include "Gchi-mindoo,Chi-nidoo,Gitchi Manito," or the White version, "Gitchi Manitou." However it is spelt, we humbly honor the Animist respect system of the Anishinabeg, who viewed the Great Being as a spirit who dwells in all of divine creation, not simply as a material individual or entity. We are dedicated to this world view of the overall Spirit, Chi or Energy that animates and nurtures the Universe. http://www.chi-manidoo.com/ ~~~ ~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
