This people [emphasize] originated the now Pan-Indian “Seven Fires” prophecy (10[1])and the “spiderweb charm” that inspired “dreamcatchers.” This people’s (10[1])language (-5[1])provided the name of the Midewiwin (10[1])(“mih-DAY-wuh-win”) medicine lodge. (10[2])Birch bark scrolls (10[2]-5[1])record this people’s tale of moving to where food “grew on water,” reflecting their sacralization of manoomin (“muh-NOH-min”), or wild rice.
