Midewiwin

The Midewiwin (also spelled ''Midewin'' and ''Medewiwin'') or the Grand Medicine Society is a secretive religion of the indigenous peoples of the Maritimes, New England and Great Lakes regions in North America. Its practitioners are called ''Midew'' and the practices of ''Midewiwin'' referred to as ''Mide''. Occasionally, male ''Midew'' are called ''Midewinini'', which sometimes is translated into English as "medicine man".
==Name==
The preverb ''mide'' can be translated as "mystery," "mysterious," "spiritual," "sanctimonious," "sacred," or "ceremonial", depending on the context of its use. The derived verb ''midewi'', thus means "be in/of ''mide''." The derived noun ''midewiwin'' then means "state of being in ''midewi''." Often ''mide'' is translated into English as "medicine" (thus the term ''midewinini'' "medicine-man") though ''mide'' conveys the idea of a spiritual medicine, opposed to ''mashkiki'' that conveys the idea of a physical medicine. A practitioner of Midewiwin is called a ''midew'', which can also be rendered as ''mide'o''... both forms of the word derived from the verb ''midewi'', or as a ''medewid'', a gerund form of ''midewi''. Specifically, a male practitioner is called a ''midewinini'' ("''midew'' man") and a female practitioner a ''midewikwe'' ("''midew'' woman").
Due to the body-part medial ''de meaning "heart" in the Anishinaabe language, "Midewiwin" is sometimes translated as "The Way of the Heart."〔Benton Banai〕 Blessing shares a definition he received from Thomas Shingobe, a "Mida" (a Midewiwin person) of the Mille Lacs Indian Reservation in 1969, who told him that "the only thing that would be acceptable in any way as an interpretation of 'Mide' would be 'Spiritual Mystery'."〔Blessing〕 However, fluent speakers of Anishinaabemowin often caution that there are many words and concepts that have no direct translation to English.〔〔Battiste〕
