Algonquin artist Frank Polson has created a captivating image of a full moon behind an autumn tree with only a few leaves clinging to its branches while others fallto the ground. A woman kneels to the left, her headbowed in prayer. Plumes of tobacco smoke rise from the bowl in her hands. The vibrantly coloured shapeswithin the woman’s silhouette are a signature design element in Anishinaabe art and representthe universal life force that animates all things. The woman’s flowing hair is symbolic of her connection to the web of life as a sacred part of creation.

• Tobacco is a central medicine in Anishinaabe tradition, and is used as an offering during every activity, ceremony and prayer. It acts as a conduit to communicate with nature’s unseen energies—the spirit world. Other key medicines include cedar, sage and sweetgrass.
• “Anishinaabe” means “the good beings” or “original person.” It is the ethnic term for the Algonquian tribes of the Great Lakes, such as the Ojibway, Algonquin, Ottawa, Nipissing, and others, and is spelled and pronounced in various ways. Although the tribes’ cultures and languages are similar, each has its own distinct leadership and identity.
• Anishinaabe art is often referred to as “woodland art.” It promotes Anishinaabe culture by depicting traditional scenes in what are commonly known as “legend paintings” or “medicine paintings.”
