Assignment #1

Boozhoo (Hello) My name is Nokomis but I go by many different names, including Nokomos, Nookomis, Noogumee, or Masâkamek’okiu. My name means “Grandmother” in the language of Ojibwe, or as otherwise known as Anishinaabe, or Chippewa. In my younger years I was a goddess of love, but when I fell from the heavens I gave birth to the world and became the Earth Goddess. I am a swinging grandmother of all the earth and I provide the planet with all of it’s important resources and riches.
My family is wide, including everyone on the Earth. I am the daughter of the Moon I also have raised my trickster grandson Manabush.
I am a very compassionate and loving being. My biggest strength is my wisdom, and one of my weaknesses is my frustration and anger when having to deal with my grandson. I have the all the powers to support the Earth and all that grows here. It can often be difficult being me, but it is very satisfying to see how this world has grown since I have given birth to it.
