ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. In particular, there are two aspects of the future of the Anishinaabeg that interest: the dynamic nature of Anishinaabe culture, and the education of Anishinaabe children. One of the distinguishing features of the charter school is that they emphasize Anishinaabe culture and language. When the charter school started, every single one of the parents in the local area pulled their children out of the public school and enrolled them in the charter school. So the Anishinaabeg took control of the education of their children and created their own school where they could teach their children about their heritage. The Anishinaabeg would travel West and preserve the traditions of the people. The Waabanakiig would remain behind and absorb the brunt of the invasion. Then, at a later date when the time was right, the Waabanakiig would travel to Anishinaabeaki, the land of the Anishinaabeg, to relearn their traditions.
