The Anishinaabe have no word for goodbye.
What do you say in parting?
You see Life as a straight line, but for us Life is a circle. After something or someone enters our circle they travel with us forever influencing us even if they are not physically present. To us there is no such thing as goodbye. Once again water filled her eyes as Asku’s voice became an echo in her thoughts… ― Amanda Skenandore
