==Medicine Societies==
The Anishinaabe have four different Medicine Societies.

===Midewiwin===
{{Main article|Midewiwin}}
The '''{{lang|oj-latn|Midewiwin}}''' (also spelled '''{{lang|oj-latn|Midewin}}''' and '''{{lang|oj-latn|Medewiwin}}''') is the '''Grand Medicine Society''' of the indigenous groups of the [[Maritimes]], [[New England]] and [[Great Lakes]] regions in North America. Its practitioners are called {{lang|oj-latn|Midew}} and the practices of {{lang|oj-latn|Midewiwin}} referred to as the {{lang|oj-latn|Mide}}.  The {{lang|oj-latn|Midewiwin}} society is a secretive [[Animism|animistic]] religion, requiring an initiation, and then progressing to four levels of practitioners, called "degrees". Occasionally, male {{lang|oj-latn|Midew}} are called {{lang|oj-latn|Midewinini}}, which sometimes is very loosely translated into English as "[[medicine man]]".

==={{lang|oj-latn|Waabanowin}}===
{{Main article|Wabunowin}}
The  '''{{lang|oj-latn|Waabanowin}}''' (also spelled '''{{lang|oj-latn|Wabuowin}}''', '''{{lang|oj-latn|Wabunohwin}}''' and '''{{lang|oj-latn|Wabunohiwin}}''') is the '''Dawn Society''', also sometime improperly called the "Magical Dawn Society". Its practitioners are called {{lang|oj-latn|Waabanow}} and the practices of {{lang|oj-latn|Waabanowin}} referred to as the {{lang|oj-latn|Waabano}}. The {{lang|oj-latn|Wabanowin}} are distinct society of visionaries. Like the {{lang|oj-latn|Midewiwin}}, the {{lang|oj-latn|Waabanowin}} is a secretive [[Animism|animistic]] religion, requiring an initiation. But unlike the {{lang|oj-latn|Mide}}, the {{lang|oj-latn|Waabano}} have sometimes two levels and sometimes four, with this variation being dependent on the particular lodge.  They were systematically imprisoned in [[mental hospital]]s by the United States government in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Because of this persecution the {{lang|oj-latn|Waabanowin}} went underground and have just begun to reemerge since the passage of the [[American Indian Religious Freedom Act]]. The ceremonies and traditions are closely guarded.

==={{lang|oj-latn|Jiisakiiwin}}===
The '''{{lang|oj-latn|Jiisakiiwin}}''' are also known as the '''Shaking Tent''' or the '''Juggler's Tent'''. Among the Anishinaabeg, a particularly powerful and well-respected spiritual practice. Those who had trained from childhood are called a {{lang|oj-latn|Jaasakiid}} or {{lang|oj-latn|Jiisakiiwinini}}, also known as a "Juggler" or "Shaking-tent Seer."
