Anishinaabe: It means the ‘Good people.’ And in our language, there was no word for ‘Sorry.’ If there is one now, it was made up to make the colonists happy. But you see, we were indeed the Good People. And for that, we had nothing to apologize for.
- Something an Elder told me years ago when I was a bratty kid. It stuck with me. And of course, he had said it in the language and so it was “funnier.” My Auntie had to translate for me, so I knew what all the adults were laughing at. (via novinophobiac)(Source: novinophobiac-blog)
As Ojibwe people, one promise we can make to our great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents is to work to ensure that what happened to them will never happen again–not to our children nor to our children’s children. We are deeply indebted to past generations for all they have suffered so that we could be here today, still strong in our ways. We can honor their memory by the way we live.
