Halo By: David A. Johnson For the Ojibwe people, all things in the natural world are believed to have a spirit. Trees, animals, birds, and fish all have a spirit. Even the rocks, rivers, and lakes have spirit. The moon is considered to be woman spirit. The figure that you see in the painting is the spirit of the moon. David used simple lines to indicate the spirit because spirits are rarely visible. For example: there are actually two spirits in the painting... The other spirit is Mother Earth. If you look very carefully, you may be able to see her face as a profile. The lowermost star is her eye.
