They introduce the seven characters: Akiwenzii, the old man who represents the narrator's will; Ninaatig, the maple tree who represents their lungs; Mindimooyenh, the old woman, their conscience; Sabe, a gentle giant, their marrow; Adik, the caribou, their nervous system; and Asin and Lucy, the humans who represent their eyes, ears, and brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimpson's book \u003ci\u003eAs We Have Always Done\u003c\/i\u003e argued for the central place of storytelling in imagining radical futures. \u003ci\u003eNoopiming\u003c\/i\u003e (Anishinaabemowin for \"in the bush\") enacts these ideas.
