Description: In Algonquin Indian lore, Manitou is a supernatural power that permeates the world, a power that can assume the form of a deity referred to as The Great Manitou or The Great Spirit (Gitche Manitou), creator of all things and giver of life. In that sense, Manitou can be considered the counterpart of the Christians God. Since early times, the belief in Manitou has extended from the Algonquins in Eastern Canada to other tribal nationsthe Odawa, Ojibwa, Oglala, and even the Cheyenne in the western plains. Thus, the title of this book, Manitou and God, symbolizes the confrontation between American Indian religions and Christian beliefs that first occurred when European settlers arrived in North America, a confrontation that continues even today.
