HAUNTAYO Great Spirit, Chi-Manidoo

Chi-Manidoo - is one of the Canadian Ojibwe expressions for "Great Spirit".
A White version is "Gichi-Manidoo". There are also other versions of the
spelling - the
confusion lies in the White attempt to articulate the oral words using English
or French
spelling. Other versions include "Gchi-mindoo," "Chi-nidoo," "Gitchi
Manito," or
the
White version, "Gitchi Manitou." However it is spelt, we humbly honor the
Animist respect
system of the Anishinabeg, who viewed the Great Being as a spirit who dwells in
all of
divine creation, not simply as a material individual or entity. We are dedicated
to this
world view of the overall Spirit, Chi or Energy that animates and nurtures the
Universe.
