Turtle Island Trials

About

The winds turn cold. The animals have gone quiet. The teachings are fading.

Walk the four sacred directions of Turtle Island and gather the seven Grandfather Stones before Windigo's hunger takes everything. Seven guides. Seven trials. Fishing, mazes, fire, a canyon leap, mirrors, and the howls of the pack.

Every word of Anishinaabemowin you learn carries you further. By the end you will understand what you could not read at the start.

Restore the balance. Miigwech.

Talk to the Elder in the village to begin. The Medicine Wheel points the way: east, then south, then west, then north.

Each guide sets a trial and teaches new words. You will need those words to pass the trial after it.

Sound on. Many clues are spoken rather than written, so listen first, then act.
