In this section of the textbook we learn about the Manito World, and
"the dream," (49) that people dream about that tells them what their
purpose in life really is. I thought this concept was interesting
because it says that a person must go out into the wilderness and fast
until the dream comes to them. I figured that when the dream comes to
them they must be so hungry that their mind starts to imagine things.
whether they imagine things or not does not say whether it is true or
false. they can really be seeing a message that is sent to them from
another dimension. i looked up this website that talks about the
Midewewin life. it tells people how to live their life to enter the
land of souls. when reading the entry, i thought a lot about
christianity. it lists things that one must do to live a peaceful
existence in order to get into the land of souls. this is much like
the christian belief of heaven. the bible also lists ten commandments
that one should follow to enter into heaven. therefore with these
Midewewin stories, one sees the influence of christianity.

I hope you find this website interesting.
