This social and cultural history explores themes of creation and language; women and gender; family, community, and nation; governance and education; and land and water through the dbaajmowin(an) (everyday stories) and aansokan(an) (sacred stories) of Nbiising. These stories live in the memories of Elders and knowledge holders, on the land and waterways, in Nishnaabemwin (the language), and in community and archival records.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe stories are accompanied by photographs from Nipissing First Nation's extensive heritage collection, which challenge the silences and erasures imposed by settler colonialism. Telling stories of strength, joy, and resilience, they document the historical, social, and cultural continuities and changes of the twentieth century for this territory and its people.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn centring Nbiising Nishnaabeg histories and ways of knowing, as well as text in Nishnaabemwin, Gaa Bi Kidwaad Maa Nbiising Nishnaabeg reshapes what we understand about Nbiising, the little waters of the Great Lakes region. At its heart, this book acknowledges and demonstrates the possibility of history to cultivate, strengthen, and support diverse connections to place and kin, offering direction to the next seven generations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenna Beaucage,Katrina Srigley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772841501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772841503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Manitoba Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Glenna Beaucage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001161097471,"sku":"9781772841503","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gaa-bi-kidwaad-maa-nbiising-glenna-beaucage-9781772841503","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
