Waasa-Inaabidaa Episode Two - Making Decisions the Right Way

Episode Two: Gwayakochigewin – “Making Decisions the Right Way” journeys from pre-European contact to contemporary times, portraying the essence of traditional Ojibwe decision-making. Historical Ojibwe chiefs are profiled alongside contemporary Ojibwe leaders. This program traces Ojibwe beginnings as sovereign, independent bands led by councils of headmen, elders, and spiritual leaders; through the United State’s paternalistic era of government guardianship; to today’s reestablishment of self-determination. Historical hereditary chiefs and today’s tribal government leaders have successfully maintained the unique status of Ojibwe tribes as sovereign nations within a nation.

Today’s leaders and tribal governments come in many forms, but all share in common the responsibilities of decision-making and of doing things the right way for the good of all Ojibwe people.
