Miskwaadesi Maada ookii Gikendamowin - Turtle Sharing Knowledge (From the Sturgeon)

​

St. Amant Foundation, Winnipeg, Mb.

​

Below are two Sturgeon. Sturgeon are the most ancient freshwater fish, and it is said they are the ancient knowledge keepers among Anishinaabe peoples. Their neighbor, a painted turtle who represents Truth can swim with the Sturgeon but also walk with the Land Animals. In this image, the Painted Turtle made a connection with the Sturgeon and is bringing this knowledge and truth to the surface to share with us Land Dwellers.
