In ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ kiskisomitok: ¿¿¿¿¿ to remind each and one another, nêhîyaw educator ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ reuben quinn uses the spirit marker writing system as a foundation for teaching ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ nêhîyawewin. Sometimes called the star chart, this system holds forty-four large spirit markers and fourteen small spirit markers.
