Jimmy Jackson on Vision Quest

To learn more about Native communities and culture visit ojibwearchive.s...
Jimmy Jackson, a respected Medicine Man, recounts the vision quest that he undertook as a young man. In Ojibwe culture, a vision quest is a period of 4-6 days where young Ojibwe are sent into isolation in the woods without food or drink. If they are successful, the fast will reveal to the young person their manidoo (“spirit”) that will help them throughout their life.
