Wabunowinとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Wabunowin (also spelled Wabunohwin and Wabunohiwin; Waabanowin in the "double-vowel" spelling) is the "Dawn Society", also sometime improperly called the "Magical Dawn Society", is a distinct Anishinaabe society of visionaries, practiced among the Anishinaabeg peoples, consisting of the Algonquin/Nipissing, Ojibwa/Chippewa/Saulteaux/Mississaugas, Odawa, Potawatomi and Oji-cree, located primarily in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. Like the Midewiwin, the Wabunowin is a secretive animistic religion, requiring an initiation, thus early non-indigenous writers lumped the information on the Wabunowin with the Midewiwin. But unlike the Mide, the Waabano have only 2 levels: Elder and Senior Elder.
