Perceiving Turtle Island as such changes the relationship we have with the territory. This story will modify the way you comprehend the land, it will help us in bringing back sacred time, honoring the land we come from Jacob Wawatie was a holy medicine man among the Anishinaabeg Confederacy. He fought against colonialism, capitalism, and the long nightmare of patriarchy. The teachings he imparted in different settings, above all the University of Ottawa, found a path tot the hearts and spirits of hundreds of enlightened students. He received the guardianship of the story of Akiminak Nimitik (the back of the turtle) directly from his great grandmother who insisted on the sacred nature of this story. Jacob guarded and shared this story as such everytime he had the opportunity to share them, especially with younger generations, The most important quality of this story is that this IS the natural Constitution of the sentient beings living on the back of the turtle and indigenous peoples living on these territories have to thread the land lightly and lovigly, thusly becoming Good Ancestors.
