Abstract This dissertation develops a concept of mnidoo-worlding, whereby consciousness emerges as a kind of possession by what is outside of ‘self’ and simultaneously by what is internal as self-possession. Weaving together phenomenology, post structural philosophy and Ojibwe Anishinaabe orally transmitted knowledges, I examine Ojibwe Anishinaabe mnidoo, or ‘other than human,’ ontologies. Mnidoo refers to energy, potency or processes that suffuse all of existence and includes humans, animals, plants, inanimate ‘objects’ and invisible and intangible forces (i.e. Thunder Beings). Such Anishinaabe philosophies engage with what I articulate as all-encompassing and interpenetrating mnidoo co-responsiveness.

  • The Final Published Version of This Article Appeared in Social Compass , Vol. 64, 3: Pp
    The final published version of this article appeared in Social Compass , vol. 64, 3: pp. 360-375 published by Sage and available here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0037768617713655 Visions of the great mystery: Grounding the Algonquian manitow concept Clinton N Westman University of Saskatchewan, Canada Tara L Joly University of Aberdeen, UK Abstract This article provides an overview of the Algonquian manitow concept. Manitow is often translated as spirit, god or mythical being, but reflects more complex and culturally grounded ideas about power in animist ontologies. The article suggests that manitow should be translated with care, with attention to a range of meanings. The authors refer primarily to Cree examples from Alberta, Canada, but also take a broader view to consider examples from other Algonquian contexts. Beginning with a discussion of definitions, the article then turns to the concept’s theoretical career. The article provides data on the contemporary dynamics of the manitow in the context of Cree religious pluralism, as well as on the emplacement of manitow relations through toponymy, particularly as seen around lakes named manitow sâkahikan. Keywords Algonquian, Cree, Manitow, Indigenous, North America, Religious Language Résumé Cet article présente un aperçu du concept Algonquian manitow. Ce concept est souvent traduit comme esprit, dieu ou être mythique, mais il reflète des idées plus complexes et est fondé culturellement sur la puissance des ontologies animistes. Cet article donne à penser que le terme manitow devrait être traduit avec grand soin en portant l’attention sur tout un éventail de significations. Les auteurs se réfèrent principalement aux exemples Cree de l’Alberta, au Canada, tout en prenant une perspective plus large en considérant les exemples d’autres contextes Algonquian.

In 1615, the Ottawa/Odawa formed a fur trading alliance with the French.

  • Christophe Boucher, College of Charleston, American Studies, Vol
    96 Book Reviews more lynchings than any other. Ultimately, the authors were able to fnd fairly reliable matches in the census and other records for 935 victims of southern lynchings. (Bailey and Tolnay’s lengthy and detailed discussion of their methodology is interesting and worthwhile in its own right.) Census records vary from decade to decade, but from 1880 to 1920, they generally included, among other things, age, mixed-race status, marital status, relationship to head of household, literacy, occupation, home ownership, and place of birth. Based on this information, the authors found several signifcant trends in their study of the victims of southern mob violence. Across the South, black male victims tended to be “older adolescents or young adults who resided in rural areas and were engaged in unskilled work, generally within the agricultural sector” (88). There was considerable diversity in literacy and marital status. Victims were more likely than the average adult black male to own their own home. With the possible exception of that last sentence, none of this is really surprising. Bailey and Tolnay’s most signifcant fnding, “the social marginality perspective of vic- timization” (116), came when they looked at the statistics on a county level. In counties where there were relatively few African Americans of higher status (by such measures as literacy, occupation, mixed race, and home ownership), those of higher social standing were more likely to be victims of mob violence; in counties with higher than average numbers of higher-status African Americans, those with lower social status were more likely to be victims.
