Simpson (Always Done, 17) writes of the capacity called Biiskabiyingan in the Nishnaabeg language: "The process of returning to ourselves, a reengagement with the things we have left behind, a re-emergence, an unfolding from the inside out." For the idea of "returning to ourselves," compare what H. S. Bhola (Literacy) calls the ontological reintegration of the individual to the world.
