midewen scrolls. This was shared by Howard Lareau
Shipshewano

Additional midewen texts
These styles are not known widely outside of the
midewen society. This is proof that we did have
certain writing systems which are much older and
were used for remembers old recipes for medicines
etc.

Ojibwe Syllabics very similar to what would have
been used by Potawatomi and Cree people. Not well
know today.

Ngom-Today

• Each missionary who worked with the Potawatomi
  also developed their own styles of writing.
  Maurice Gailland, Father Hoecken, Johnston
  Lykins, and Robert Simmerall are a few of these
  different people.
• Thankfully today the ba bay be bo system is the
  most widely used with a few differences with the
  tth or tt as the ch or j sound.
• The fiero system is also very popular in Canada.
  The Ojibwe and Odawa which are very close to
  Potawatomi have for the most part adopted this
  style.
