About Honoring Elders

Like many Native Americans Ojibwe people esteem the wisdom authority and religious significance of old age but this respect does not come easily or naturally It is the fruit of hard work rooted in narrative traditions moral vision and ritualized practices of decorum that are comparable in sophistication to those of Confucianism Even as the dispossession and policies of assimilation have threatened Ojibwe peoplehood and have targeted the traditions and the elders who embody it Ojibwe and other Anishinaabe communities have been resolute and resourceful in their disciplined respect for elders Indeed the challenges of colonization have served to accentuate eldership in new ways Using archival and ethnographic research Michael D McNally follows the making of Ojibwe eldership showing that deference to older women and men is part of a fuller moral aesthetic and cosmological vision connected to the ongoing circle of life a tradition of authority that has been crucial to surviving colonization McNally argues that the tradition of authority and the authority of tradition frame a decidedly indigenous dialectic eluding analytic frameworks of invented tradition and naive continuity Demonstrating the rich possibilities of treating age as a category of analysis McNally provocatively asserts that the elder belongs alongside the priest prophet sage and other key figures in the study of religion
