I was up in Gichi-onigamiing (Grand Portage) for nimiwin (powwow), burning bashkodejiibik (sage) jiigibiig (on the shore) looking for lake glass and cool rocks when I saw a wadikwan (tree branch) in the nibi (water). Well then it moved oddly and I thought it was a maang (loon) diving underwater. Turns out I was wrong twice – it was a sweet sweet little nigig (otter) just watching me.
Newest one to honor this little niiji (friend).
