Trailer videos for documentary film of Anishinaabe delegation led by Ojibwa chiefs David Taylor and Solomon Wawatie (an Elder). The group from the U.S. and Canada visited Brooklyn over Nov. 7-10, 20’23.  They met in Crown Heights with New York Rabbis for talks and a joint proclamation. Specifically, it included the Ojibwa’s acceptance of the truth of Torah and the Seven Noahide Commandments. Likewise, they shared their ancient tradition of Seven Grandfather Teachings.

A main accomplishment was the signing of a Joint Declaration. It acknowledged understandings shared by the Midew Elders, Doodeman Ogemas and Ogichidaag of the Anishinaabe Ojibway People, and the Sages of the Jewish People. The following is a summary of the Proclamation’s seven sections:

1: Acknowledging the One Creator – the Source of all existence; all things and all people are encompassed together by the Creator’s complete unity.

2: The Universal Divine Code – of Seven Commandments for the descendants of Noah.

3: The Seven Universal Principles – of morality that emerge from the Seven Commandments.

4: The Anishinaabe “Seven Grandfather Teachings” in Anishinaabe culture – Wisdom, Respect, Humility, Honesty, Truth, Courage and Love.

5: A Profound Alignment of Purpose – of all individuals and societies to engage in acts of benevolence and to strive for just and lasting peace.

6: The Daily Journey – to rectify the deviations from these ways that exist on the personal level and in the world around us.

7: The Long-awaited Arrival of the Messianic Era – which is known in the Anishinaabe tradition as the Eighth Fire Era.
