Azhe giwe Niibin — Maajigwayneyaash on Winter Solstice and the Return of Summer
In this short story from Anishinaabe Bizindamoo Makak, Maajigwayneyaash–Dr. Gordon Jourdain, describes how his grandmother would keep time by following the phases of the moon. We learn the context of azhe giwe Niibin–or the return of summer, as it relates to the Winter Solstice, when the days begin to get longer.
