I am just about to under go my naming ceremony at 40. I have received visons of Wagoosh in dreams and elsewhere and the Fox has ALWAYS been present in my life somehow. Today when I went to look for a video and have someone explain it people...I came across you. This absolutely is not coincidence and Creator lead me here. I am so excited to know my name and share my gifts with the world
I just turned 36, I was in foster care my whole childhood and my culture was hidden from me. I just received my name in a ceremony at Roseau River. I'm not sure how to spell the name in Ojibwe but in English it's Thunderbird Cloud.
Hi my bf just received his Anishinaabe name and I would love to get him a gift with his name and colors. He was given a Thunderbird name and I would like to honor tht the right way. I would love to purchase a gift made by the people of his tribe instead of another white man (like myself) making a profit off off it. Plus I believe it will hold so much more power behind. His tribe is in the U.P unfortunately not around the block from me.
Hi! I am also a Sault tribe member, I was hoping maybe I could ask for some guidance (so kindly if you could ask your boyfriend) on how he has navigated becoming more connected with the tribe and teachings. I was raised in the ann arbor area so I am very disconnected and i've always felt lost but feel so at home when Im on tribal land. thank you!
@@lostcausemoth honestly he’s not very connected. His aunt is the one who set it all up. But I will talk to him about maybe how to go about it. His family lives up there. His grandma used to live in one of the communities years ago. His dad may have connections as well. I know he gets the tribal paper delivered to his home. I will look into it and see what I can find out for you. Who knows you guys may even be related.
18:41 You were talking about some people receiving colours during their naming ceremony and to use those colours for ribbon skirts/shirt, powwow outfit etc. Do you have any knowledge about the meanings of colours in Ojibway culture? I can't seem to find any information on colours/meanings besides the medicine wheel teachings, but wondering if you might know? Miigwetch
I can't tell you how much I yearn to know more about our traditional ways, not having been raised traditionally. Strangely (or not) I vibe w/ the Potawatomie, which IS the Matriarchal side of my heritage, while I have more Osage/Wha Zha Zhi "Blood" on the Patriarchal side, but I find them very aculturized Spiritually. A bit of an"Odd Duck" I came in w/ a Spirit Guide, who led me to my daughter's Choctaw name, which comes from her Patriarchal side. So a bit confusing. Thank You so much for what U do! Many of us have felt so lost, until our personal experiences bring us to teachers like you. I have had man inner experiences thr meditation about the sources of some of our ceremonial practices & regalia, which R energy states of being & bodies, but as yet have not come across a Native Spiritual Teacher, although I am very greatful to the Spiritual teacher I have followed for over 40 years as a Dreamer/Meditator.
I’ll be 31 this June… I’ve been a member of the Sault Ste Marie tribe since I was about 4 or 5… due to circumstances in life I never got to participate in much more than an occasional powwow. Always wanted to build a stronger connection to the tribe though, just due to circumstances was never able to. Now I have a daughter and a wife, who is not Native but understands and supports connecting to one’s cultural heritage, the difficult part for us is due to my daughters health we are sorta stuck living in Pittsburgh, PA for at least the next 10 years. The videos you’ve uploaded make sure to mention for those of us who were not able to participate in ceremonies as children, they do provide a comfort to me, in still being able to participate even though I’m older, and bolden my desire to make sure my daughter is able to participate while she is young. She’s only gonna be 3 this April. But I do want her to be able to learn about, and experience the cultures she’s descended from, the Polish from her mother, the Irish and Native that she gets from me. I just don’t want her to grow up with only a vague connection or a connection to only one facet of her roots like I did.
@@Ironcaster she’s doin well, very active and very happy. Her immune system is getting stronger, hopefully one day it’ll be as strong as mine since my wife’s family and even many members of my own family are sick far more often than I am. And culturally my wife grew up being taught what survived of their polish heritage by her grandpa who was liberated from a Nazi work camp. So she knows a good bit of her cultural heritage. But I grew up only knowing I am a member of the tribe and I was irish mixed… well I can teach my daughter about her irish heritage, but that’s incomplete on my part as it doesn’t teach her about her connection to THIS land. So I’ll have to teach her as I learn it myself.
Hi, I’m so happy to have read the comments to find out my bfs tribal people are here. My bf just received his name last wk at the saulte ste Marie tribe. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go. I would love to learn more and I had mentioned in a comment about possibly having something made for him with his name and colors. Something maybe I could hang up for him. I’m not sure. I just want to get him something. Do any of you know if people in the tribe, if there’s someone that possibly makes something to honor his name. I know there’s not many that sell items online. Which also makes it more special.
Leonard Moose. Is there any way to see if I can find this person. I am hoping to find some of my relatives. My fathers name was Stephen Andrew Moose. I sure would like to find my long lost relatives I had when I was little. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏😊🥰🙏🙏🙏❤️🩹
Aanin, nanda-gikendeman Anishinaabemowen. I don’t have anyone to name me, my only uncle who has a native name has his name in Dakota (because he was accepted into a Dakota lodge even tho he’s Ojibwe). He doesn’t speak ojibwe. Is this okay? Can I still ask him? He lives across an ocean from me.

There are lots of Native clothing and craft vendors. Heart Berry has an online store. But there are others too.

I'll put it up a piece on it sometime soon.

There are a lot of ways to connect. You can email me if you want to discuss a little more: assistant@antontreuer.com
We share a tribe! I understand how you feel about wanting that cultural connection.
I wish your daughter the best of health.

I’m a Red Lake tribal member, really trying learn and connect with my culture so I greatly appreciate your videos.
At my naming ceremony the elder saw that there where two women looking over me and that blew my mind, miigweech for posting

"We are souls" Yes!
A’ho!!

This sounds like more of a conversation than a simple response. Want to email me at assistant@antontreuer.com?
