I extend my greeting to you.  I hope that the time in which you read this work finds you in good health and spirit.

We are about to embark on a journey into the world of the Anishinaabeg and the Way of a Good Life.  I hope that you read these words with care, understanding that I have chosen them to examine and explain many of the Teachings that I have received from Elders and traditional Teachers.  It is also my hope that these words will contribute to a new understanding of the philosophical eloquence and depth of Anishinaabe thought and worldview.
