Stories in speech, in action and on the page hold the history, visions, laughter and tears of the people. They contain science, psychology . . . all the equations and networks of life that connect the Anishinaabeg.

Stories on this site are arranged by season to reflect what is important to know in the dark winter time of rest, in the spring as waters awaken, in the celebrations and work of summer and in the time when we turn to the known and unknown of the west.

We want as many Anishinaabe voices to be heard as possible, so this is where you can find stories, poems and images produced by many different speakers and students. Some stories are teaching tales, some are translations of stories from other cultures and classrooms. The stories for children are for beginners of all ages and contain additional learning material.

All of these stories have been placed here with the hope they will be enjoyed by many. We have been careful to not capture the tales that should remain oral, you can find those other ways if you ask the elders you know. Everything here is to be explored and enjoyed.

Biindigen, Welcome

Trilliums prefer a deep well-drained woodland or humus-rich soil in a shady position that remains moist in the summer. Trilliums can be propagated by seed though it may take 2 years to germinate and another two years to bloom. Bulbs can often be purchased from garden centers and seed catalogs for easy growing. Many species of Trilliums are protected or endangered and should not be harvested or transplanted from the wild.

Trilliums have been used in herbal medicine but should not be harvested in the wild as they are becoming endangered in many places. There are many common wild medicinal plants that can be used as substitutes
