Ojibwe View of Heaven | Northern Nights, Starry Skies

Learn about the afterworld beliefs of the Ojibwe people with artist and scholar Carl Gawboy, a member of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa. Gawboy describes the Milky Way as the “River of Souls” and heaven as the “the greatest place in the world. It’s just like here.” Nature photographer Travis Novitsky, a member of the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, provides vivid images of the Night Sky.
