A collaboration exploring the importance of the Ojibway-Anishinabe
worldview, use of ceremony, and language in living a good life,
attaining true reconciliation, and resisting the notions of
indigenization and colonialization inherent in Western
institutions. Indigenization within the academy and the idea of
truth and reconciliation within Canada have been seen as the remedy
to correct the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and Canadian
society. While honourable, these actions are difficult to achieve
given the Western nature of institutions in Canada and the
collective memory of its citizens, and the burden of proof has
always been the responsibility of Anishinabeg. Authors Makwa Ogimaa
(Jerry Fontaine) and Ka-pi-ta-aht (Don McCaskill) tell their
di-bah-ji-mo-wi-nan (Stories of personal experience) to provide
insight into the cultural, political, social, and academic events
of the past fifty years of Ojibway-Anishinabe resistance in Canada.
They suggest that Ojibway-Anishinabe i-zhi-chi-gay-win zhigo
kayn-dah-so-win (Ways of doing and knowing) can provide an
alternative way of living and thriving in the world. This
distinctive worldview -- as well as Ojibway-Anishinabe values,
language, and ceremonial practices -- can provide an alternative to
Western political and academic institutions and peel away the
layers of colonialism, violence, and injustice, speaking truth and
leading to true reconciliation.
A vision shared. A manifesto. This remarkable work argues that
Anishinabeg need to reconnect with non-colonized modes of thinking,
social organization, and decision making in order to achieve
genuine sovereignty. In Our Hearts Are as One Fire, Jerry Fontaine
recounts the stories of three Ota’wa, Shawnee, and
Ojibway-Anishinabe leaders who challenged aggressive colonial
expansion – Obwandiac, Tecumtha, and Shingwauk. He weaves
Ojibwaymowin language and knowledge with conversations with elders
and descendants of the three leaders. The result is a book that
reframes the history of Manitou Aki, sharing a vision of how
Anishinabe spiritual, cultural, legal, and political principles
will support the leaders of today and tomorrow.
