Native American ➔ DVD, The Four Directions and the Waganakising Odawa

Identifier:
2022.132.2
Description:
This DVD, entitled The Four Directions, was produced in 2006 by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa in association with Real People Productions. 

A synopsis on the back of the DVD case reads as follows: "Fred Harrington (narrator) and members of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa (Waganakising Odawa) explain the spiritual concepts behind the Medicine Wheel. This informative film beautifully captures the tribe's cultural events and illustrates Anishinaabe stories including: 'The Origin of the Snowsnake,' 'The Jingle Dress Dance,' 'Making of Maple Syrup', and 'The Great Flood.' The community continues to thrive in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. 

Four Directions offers a rich visual tapestry that draws the viewer into the center of the Odawa world. This superb documentary, narrated by tribal elders, makes the complex circle of Anishinaabe symbolism and cosmology easy for even young viewers to understand. We come to appreciate how the fabric of Odawa cultural life is woven from the threads of ancient tradition as well as modern practice." - Charles E. Cleland, Ph.D., Author of 'Rites of Conquest'"
