Notes for (McLeod)


!SOUR: Ruth Landes.  Ojibwa Sociology.  Columbia, 1937.  p. 123
 Paskikwe'.ige. This means "one who lets blood by piercing a blood vessel." One
woman formerly practiced it: the decased Mrs. McLeod. ... The technique is to
prick veins in teh leg to induce menstruation (when this is pathologically
delyaed); or to prick veins in the arm or leg to relieve strain in that part.
Mrs. McLeod thus induced mensturation in Janet
Wilson...

Notes for (Namepok)


!SOUR: Ruth Landes.  Ojibwa Sociology.  Columbia, 1937.  p. 64
 p. 124. There have recently been several nanandawi iwewininis on the Manitou
reserve: Old Bombay, Jack M'Ginnis #2, Billy B'binnis (no relation to Jack),
Old Brown (classificatory mother's brother to Billy), Dan Hawk, Mrs. Jack
Namepok, Fred Black.  The dogma is that there can be no tramsission of power
between persons.  However, it is nknown that the doctor must purchase the
knowledge of certain herbal remedies from a senior; so it may be conjectured
that this is also one avenue of acquaintance with the more esoteric features of
the profession... Billy M'Ginnis bought herbal knowledge from old Brown and the
latter often took his young nephew to doctor with
him.
