Photograph of two children feeding birds. The Anicinabek of yore had complex relationships with these animals, both emotional and symbolic. Ejinagosi Kistabish recounts that, in exchange for food, a bird could learn an Anicinabe's language and pass on to them its knowledge of the territory.
The photo reminded Roger Wylde of the special relationship that existed between magicians and certain birds.
