Description
-
Photograph once belonging to Father Gaston Carrière, showing two children feeding birds. According to Ejinagosi Kistabish, these raven-like birds were traditionally called "ade". It is said that the "ade" could develop special relationship with the Anicinabe who caught it when it was a fledgling: in exchange for food, the bird would learn the language of the Anicinabe and, through it, passed on information about the territory. It was this relationship that enabled the Anicinabek to learn how to move quickly around the territory.
