I love the talk about breath. In Anishinaabe cosmology, we believe all people were created when Kitchi Manitou took a handle of soil from Mother Earth from each of the four directions and placed them in a shell, then breathed into it. What emerged on the other side was the first human. If that isn't a nod to the reality that we are all made of breath, of warm, holy, humid vapor, what is?
