General note

The Midewiwin, or Grand Medicine Society is a spiritual society found among varying Indigenous communities in the Maritimes, New England, and Great Lakes regions of North America. The Midewiwin is made of a community of healers called the Mide who perform religious ceremonies and act as spiritual advisors for their community. Mide may pass through 4-8 levels of membership, depending on the community that they come from. When birchbark scrolls [wiigwaasabakoon] are used in Midewiwin ceremony, the scrolls are referred to as mide-wiigwaas.
