often believe it necessary to kill a windigo and there are various recorded accounts of people battling windigo or killing people they suspect are transforming into one.", "Algonquian peoples like the Ojibwe regard cannibals as a particular danger because they are obsessed with consuming without regard to kinship or thanksgiving.===Mythology and cosmogony===Ojibwe mythology is passed down orally.", "Ojibwe traditionally drew a distinction between ordinary stories and sacred stories, the latter dealing with the ''manitouk''.", "In the Severn River area these were referred to as ''tipacimowinak'' and ''kanatipacimowinak'' respectively, although among the southeast Ojibwe they have instead been referred to as ''dbaajmowin'' and ''aadsookaan''.The traditional Ojibwe cosmology is a version of the Earth Diver narrative.", "Among the Ojibwe, this cosmological story exists in various different forms.", "Many Ojibwes regard their sacred myths as a literal account of history.Some modern Ojibwe regard this cosmogony as a literal account of their history, rejecting archaeological evidence for Native American groups descending from people who crossed into North America from Asia via the Behring Strait.===Cosmology===Ojibwe cosmology includes belief in a multilevel cosmos with different layers ruled by different ''manitouk''.", "The hierarchy of these layers nevertheless varies among different Ojibwe religionists.", "In traditional Ojibwe cosmology, the world of humans is an island surrounded by water.", "This island was formed by Nanabush and the earth divers after a great deluge.", "Above humanity's realm is that of the thunderbirds.", "Beneath the Earth is an underworld where the dead ultimately go.", "In some accounts, the underworld or a certain layer of it are the reverse of the Earth.This cosmology is marked by the four directions which are the abodes of the winds and their tutelary spirits, the thunderbird manitouk.", "The winds are sometimes perceived as being four separate entities, and at other times as part of the same being.", "The four winds are named Waubun, Zeegwun, Ningobianong, and Bebon.", "According to Ojibwe mythology, they were placed in the cardinal directions by Nanabush.", "The directions, and especially the four cardinal points, are highly meaningful in Ojibwe cosmology.", "Each quarter has its own colour: east is yellow, south is red, west is black, and north is white.===Spirit and afterlife===There is some variation in the details of Ojibwe belief regarding human identity.", "Like many other Native American groups, they have traditionally believed that a human has multiple souls.", "One of these was based in the heart and was responsible for animating the body and for providing a person with their intelligence, memory, and consciousness.", "The other soul was capable of separating from the body and going traveling, especially during sleep.", "This traveling soul would help to guide the person, for instance if they were hunting.", "Among northern Ojibwe, this traveling soul was called the ''òtcatcákwin''.", "In the 1980s, Christopher Vecsey noted that most Ojibwe had adopted the Christian belief in a single, unitary soul.According to Ojibwe religion, upon bodily death the person's first soul went straight to the afterlife but that their traveling soul became a ghost and remained near the grave for a while before proceeding to the afterlife.In Ojibwe lore, the afterlife realm was generally believed to exist to the south or west, situated either on a level or above the realm of humans; it was not an underworld.", "According to tradition, it is ruled over by Nanabush or by his wolf brother.", "Non-human persons would also go to that afterworld following bodily death.", "To get to it, the spirit must cross a river on the back of a snake.", "If they fall into the water, their spirit is destroyed forever or they are transformed into a fish or toad.", "In the afterlife, spirits dance and thus produce the northern lights.", "Knowledge of this afterlife has been attributed to ghosts who communicate with the living or from people, often those comatose or seriously ill, who ventured to the afterlife but returned.Vecsey noted that, by the late 20th century, many Ojibwe, including those who were not Christians, had adopted a Christian-derived idea that there were separate afterlives for those who had been good and bad during their lives.", "Traditionally, Ojibwe traditional belief was that humans would be rewarded or punished for their actions in their current life, rather than in an afterlife.Spirits of the deceased will rarely have the power of ''manitouk''.", "Some Ojibwe believe that spirits of the deceased may appear to them in animal form; ghosts might appear as owls.===Animism and other-than-human-persons===The scholar of religion Graham Harvey noted that the traditional Ojibwe view of the world was \"pervasively social,\" regarding it as \"a community of persons (not all of whom are human).\"", "In traditional Ojibwe cosmology, animals, plants, stones, clouds, the sun, moon, and stars can all be thought of as animate \"persons.\"", "They are all perceived as having intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, and the ability to speak, with the traditional Ojibwe worldview emphasising the similarity, rather than the dissimilarity, of all beings.", "Drawing on his research among the northern Ojibwe, the anthropologist Alfred Irving Hallowell termed these \"other-than-human persons.\"", "Harvey described this approach as animism, by which he meant \"efforts to live well in a world which is a community of persons, most of whom are 'other-than-human'.", "\"In Ojibwe religion, humans are regarded as being equal to these other-than-human persons, rather than being innately superior.", "They are thus not viewed as having a privileged or unique status in the world.", "All persons are viewed as kin, with Ojibwe sometimes referring to other-than-human persons as relatives with terms like \"brother\", \"grandfather\", and \"grandmother\".", "Contributing to the inability to firmly differentiate between different types of person, Ojibwe myth and belief is full of accounts of metamorphosis between various animal and human forms.The Ojibwe traditionally display an attitude of respect to the world that impacts their interaction with it.", "When hunting, Ojibwe were expected to treat their prey in a specific manner; when bears were traditionally hunted in the spring, Ojibwe hunters would ask them to leave their dens and offer an apology for killing them.", "Cruelty to animals would bring retaliation.Smith described the Ojibwe as existing \"within a world of interconnecting relationships\", a world in which the different persons of various kinds sometimes collaborate and sometimes come into conflict.===Morality and gender roles===Key to traditional Ojibwe life is the attempts to live well, or ''bimaadiziwin''.", "Hallowell described this as denoting \"life in the fullest sense, life in the sense of longevity, health and freedom from misfortune\".", "To ensure this, a person must build respectful and reciprocal relationships with powerful ''manitouk''.", "Dealing with life's hardships quietly and with equanimity is deemed admirable, while complaining or whining is frowned upon.", "Sharing what one has is an important value, while hoarding is discouraged.Smith argued that Ojibwe traditional views did not revolve around a binary between good and evil, but instead saw things in terms of \"balance and imbalance, control and chaos\".", "A person's bad behavior, referred to as ''madjiijiwe baziwin'', can result in them being punished with misfortune or illness.", "''Madjiijiwe baziwin'' can include being greedy and refusing to share, displaying excess pride, misusing one's power, murder, mistreating animals or plants, disrespecting or neglecting the ''manitouk'', or displaying cruelty or sexual perversion.Menstruating women are regarded as possessing an uncontrollable and dangerous power.", "While menstruating, they are prohibited from dancing at powwows, or from stepping over animals, especially those being prepared as food.", "Prior to European colonisation, the Ojibwe observed clear gendered divisions of labor, with men as hunters and women as the gatherers and preparers of food.", "Elders are accorded status, prestige, and power in Ojibwe communities.", "A person comes to be regarded as an elder not necessarily by age, but because they are perceived as living right, displaying wisdom as \"sober, quiet, thoughtful, and respectful individuals\"." ], [ "Practices", "George Catlin's illustration of an Ojibwe Snowshoe Dance, from 1835Ojibwe rituals, whether individual or communal, allow for relations with the ''manitouk''.", "Ceremonies represent opportunities for different kinds of \"person\" to interact.===Prayer and offerings===In Ojibwe religion, tobacco, cedar, sage, and sweetgrass are considered sacred plants.", "Sweetgrass and tobacco rituals are practiced routinely.", "Cedar and sweetgrass are deemed to have purifying properties.", "Ojibwe people will often tie sweetgrass around their settlements, for instance onto medicine wheels or onto the rearview mirrors of their cars.", "Tobacco is considered suitable as a gift, either as an expression of thanks or of supplication, for ''manitouk'' or human elders.", "Ojibwe people may burn tobacco during a thunderstorm, usually in front of a wood stove, atop an oven or in a smudge pot, both to thank the thunderbirds for the rain and to supplicate them in the hope that it will prevent lightning from striking the home.", "They may also bury tobacco outside their homes to propitiate the thunderers.Sage is used for prayer, but also burned for purification or tied into bundles and given as offerings.", "When collecting sage, Ojibwe will often request permission to do so from the plant.===Pipe ceremonies===An Ojibwe pipe bowl and stem, made circa 1885Pipe ceremonies include offerings to the four directions.", "These take place before various events, including meetings, powwows, and weddings.===Vision quest===Historically, Ojibwe youth reaching puberty would engage in a vision quest.", "This required fasting and going into isolation to attract the attention of a ''manitou'' who might agree to be their guardian.", "Those seekers proceed to try and elicit pity from ''manitouk''.", "A ''manitou'' who agreed to become a person's guardian would protect and guide them for life, in turn expecting loyalty, respect, and offerings.", "An individual was not regarded as a complete person until this relationship had been formed.", "Individuals repeatedly reported journeys then undertaken with their guardian ''manitou''; one Ojibwe was reported as having travelled underwater with a giant turbot while another described flying through the cosmos on the back of an eagle.Historically, the vision quest was expected of men but not of women, who were believed to already be complete because of their ability to create life.", "There were nevertheless some women who did undertake the rite.", "Once a youth had undertaken it, they were sometimes given a new personal name, which they may then keep secret.Smith found, in late 20th-century Manitoulin, that the vision quest had not been pursued at puberty for at least three generations.", "Ojibwe adults had nevertheless continued the practice at other times in their lives; Dreamer's Rock was for instance often chosen for the purpose.===Further rites===Prior to European contact, a common means of disposing of the Ojibwe dead was to wrap them in bundles and place them in the branches of trees.", "After European contact, the Ojibwe adopted the practice of burying their dead, with archaeological excavation suggesting that they typically did so after the bones had been defleshed.Respect is accorded to bones as the most durable part of the body.===Healing===Medicine plays a key role in Ojibwe religion.Many Ojibwe healers will combine traditional remedies with Christian prayers.Charms are often placed on a baby's ''tikanagan'' (cradleboard) to protect it, including a twine spider web that is believed to catch harmful things approaching the infant.===Ritual specialists===The ''jessakid'' has been called a \"conjuring shaman\".", "Their powers to translate the messages of the ''manitouk'' are regarded as a gift from the ''animikeek''.", "Powerful ritualists are also thought capable of animating otherwise inanimate objects or of transforming one object into another, such as charcoal into bullets.Those specialists deemed to have misused their powers are often hated and feared by their community.", "They are thought possible of stealing or disrupting a person's soul to generate sickness, with babies being particularly vulnerable.The Ojbwe have no ritual clowns like the ''heyoka'' found among Sioux groups.===Midewiwin===An illustration of a midewiwin ritual first published in 1891The Midewiwin is a major rite in Ojibwe religion.", "It was common until the early 20th century but considered rare by the end of that century.", "By the late 20th century, it was common for Ojibwe people to believe that the mide society had been a part of their ancient ancestral traditions, although scholars of religious history argue that only emerged after the Ojibwe’s contact with Europeans.", "Various different myths are offered about the origin of the midewiwin, presenting it variously as a gift to the Ojibwe from the Bear ''manitou'', Otter ''manitou'', Shell, or Nanabush.", "One version maintains that the underwater ''manitouk'' created the midewiwin and gave it to Nanabush to appease him after they had flooded the earth.Among contemporary Midewiwin, Kitche Manitou is generally regarded as their patron.It has four to eight levels of initiation.", "Initiates pay a fee, historically in goods but later in currency, to join the society.===Bearwalkers and sorcery===Ojibwe people may attribute ill health to sorcery, and thus seek out a medicine man to assist in dealing with the problem.", "Ojibwe may hide their cut hair, blood, saliva, or faeces to prevent it being used to cause them harm, reflecting the belief that such material holds an intrinsic connection to the person from which it came.Misfortune is often attributed to bearwalkers, who are believed to fire hairballs into their victims.", "In Ojibwe belief, bearwalkers can change the form of their traveling soul but often take that of a bear, hence their name.", "For this reason, any animal encountered is seen as a potential bearwalker in disguise, while they are also thought to be visible as lights in the night.", "Ojibwe lore maintains that successful people in particular generate envy among others and thus become targets for the bearwalkers." ], [ "History", "===Prehistory===Around 1200 CE, the hunting culture to which the Ojibwe belonged emerged in the conifer forests around the Great Lakes.", "Prior to European contact, the Ojibwe's subsistence relied heavily on hunting and fishing, supplementing this diet with foraged plant sources.", "Each Ojibwe extended family was politically autonomous although the exchange of members for marriage ensured regular contact between different Ojibwe groups.", "It was only following the European encounter that the Ojibwe developed a common identity as a people.===Encounters with Christianity and colonialism===The earliest written accounts of the Ojibwe were produced by Europeans in the 17th century.", "The Ojibwe's earliest encounters with French colonists were probably around 1610, as French trappers pushed west in search of beaver pelts.", "Encounters with Roman Catholic missionaries followed, with Ojibwe first encountering Franciscans in 1622 and the Jesuits in 1641.In the 1670s the Jesuits established a mission at the Sault, with a sparse Roman Catholic missionary effort continuing through the 18th century.", "New Roman Catholic missions were created on the Earl of Selkirk's Red River Colony in 1815, with the 1820s seeing more concerted Roman Catholic proselytization efforts among the Ojibwe.", "The 1820s also saw the formation of Anglican, Methodist, and Presbyterian missions to Ojibwe communities, particularly those in the United States and southeast Ontario.", "There was much competition and rivalry among these Christian missionary groups; Roman Catholics were generally more tolerant of Ojibwe cultural practices like family feasts and mourning customs than their Protestant rivals.Some Ojibwe who converted probably sincerely believed in Christian teachings but others likely converted to receive gifts from missionaries or to secure alliances with Christian Europeans.", "Others may have felt that Christianity possessed greater healing power than their traditional religion, or drew upon both Christianity and their established custom, for instance regarding Jesus as another ''manitou''.", "As Christian missionary influence grew over the Ojibwe, so did Ojibwe opposition.", "Many resented that Ojibwe land was being parcelled off for Christian missions and that Indian annuities were also being directed to fund them.European colonisation brought substantial change for the Ojibwe.By the 1870s, Ojibwe in both Canada and the United States were predominantly living on reservations, with government policies dedicated to transforming them from hunter-gatherers to settled agriculturalists.", "In the 1870s, President Ulysses S. Grant's policies in the U.S. placed missionaries in charge of Native reservations, resulting in greater success in the conversion of many Ojibwe.", "By the late 19th century, the Ojibwe in southeast Ontario were largely Christian.", "Christian organisations, often supported by the government, established boarding schools in which Ojibwe children were acculturated to European cultural norms and distanced from their traditional culture.", "The traditional puberty rite died out while many other religious customs declined.===Revivalism===Ojbwe people taking part in a powwow at the Grand Portage Indian Reservation in 2009By the mid-20th century, Christianity had reached all areas inhabited by Ojibwe.Writing in the 1990s, Smith observed that Ojibwe religion had undergone \"a great revival\".", "The Woodlands style of art, associated with the work of Norval Morriseau in the 1960s, often featured traditional myth in its imagery and contributed to this religious resurgence.Many Ojibwe have interpreted this cultural revival as a fulfilment of the Seven Fires prophecy; the Seventh Prophecy had recounted a rebirth of the Ojibwe people and a return to their ancestral ways.In 1968, several Ojibwe Natives founded the American Indian Movement (AIM) activist group.", "AIM soon gained a Lakota focus as its members sought the guidance of Lakota religious leader Leonard Crow Dog.", "The sweat lodge ceremony practised by Lakota groups have since spread widely among Native Americans.", "The scholar of religion Suzanne Owen noted that she had seen Ojibwe people using the Lakota term ''mitakuye oyasin'' (all my relations) as a means of encapsulating Native American perspectives on life more broadly." ], [ "Reception and legacy", "Smith noted that many of the Ojibwe she encountered saw their traditional religion not as a culturally bound system but as something that might contribute to a new world philosophy.", "One Ojibwe, Wa’na’nee’che, for instance taught sweat lodge ceremonies to people in the United Kingdom during the 2000s.The religion of the Ojibwes has attracted less academic attention than the traditions of some of their neighbors, in part due to the absence of any 19th-century revivalist movement under a clear leader, something seen in certain other Native communities." ], [ "References", "===Notes====== Citations ======Sources===*** ******* *" ] ]

library services.", "However, at this time, Taizhou and even the later established Taizhou city lacked a municipal-level public library.=== Establishment and development ===To counter that situation, in 2001, the preliminary plan for the construction of the Taizhou City Library was proposed.", "The plan aimed to establish a \"composite library\", which would integrate traditional and digital collections, with a tendency towards a digital-oriented library.", "Subsequently, experts drafted the \"Feasibility Study Report on the New Building Project of the Taizhou City Library\", and the

Prince Vasiliy Golitsyn left Moscow for the place of concentration — Sevsk.", "Belgorod and Sevsk regiments under the command of Prince Romodanovsky gathered in Belgorod.", "The deployment of the main

dragoons and 800 Serdyuks), which secretly approached the besieged fortress, and in the morning of 20 August with unfurled banners and to the beat of drums entered Chigirin, managing to avoid losses either because of the sluggishness of the Turks, or because it was missed by the Tatars, who did not want a victory for the Sultan's troops for fear that the capture of Ukraine by the Turks will deprive the autonomy and Crimea." ], [ "Crossing the Dnieper", "24—25 August the troops reached the bank of the Dnieper River at Buzhina Perez.", "In this place the river narrowed considerably, and

detachment and, having occupied a bridgehead on the bank, began to build a retrenchment.Major-General Shepelev took command of the troops on the right bank bridgehead.", "On the morning of the 27th

only a few regiments on the right bank, but the first and second elective regiments repelled the Janissaries' attack.", "Having received a report from the khan and Turkish commanders that they could not hold back the Russians, Ibrahim Pasha sent them reinforcements, and with the remaining forces made a last desperate attempt to seize Chyhyryn.Meanwhile, Romodanovsky and Samoilovich had already transported 15,000 men under the command of Colonels Kosagov and Novitsky, who launched an attack and repulsed the numerically superior enemy forces.On the 28th the battle continued.", "Having

of 29 August and to retreat in a hurry in order not to be surrounded.", "The victory of the troops of Romodanovsky and Samoilovich saved the fortress, which was already running out of ammunition, and meant victory in the campaign of 1677.The merits of the commanders of the elected regiments, who took the brunt of the enemy's attack, were recognised by the tsar, who promoted them to the following
