Description
Summary:	"In kiskisomitok: to remind each and one other, nēhiyaw educator reuben quinn uses the spirit marker writing system as a foundation for teaching nēhiyawewin. The spirit marker writing system holds forty-four spirit markers and fourteen minor spirit markers. Some people call that system the star chart. Each spirit marker holds a law. These laws are meant to guide us in ways that support us in life. They are meant to guide us in ways of living well with the elements: fire, land, water, and air. The spirit markers remind us that these elements form the foundations of all relationships on earth."--Page 4 of cover.
