This book is an examination of Anishinaabe philosophy, particularly Mino-Bimaadiziwin (The Way of a Good Life) as it is explained by the traditional Teachings of the Anishinaabeg.  To this end, Primary Experiential Knowledge is used as the method of investigation. 

This work attempts to explains the meaning, purpose and function of Anishinaabe Primary Experiential Knowledge as a method of philosophical exploration based on Applied Anishinaabe Theory:  traditional principles of verification based on a personal interaction with traditional Anishinaabe Teachers and Elders. 

Since research and learning for an Anishinaabe person includes more than an investigation of the external world — it is also a personal spiritual journey of knowledge gathering and self-discovery — I use a Primary Experiential Knowledge method to discuss the general philosophy that can be distilled or extracted from the traditional oral Teachings without reproducing those oral Teachings in written form.
