Manitou is a Native American concept represented by the Algonquin and Ojibwe words for spirit, essence, or life force. Manitou embodies the true nature of all things, animate and inanimate, that inhabit our world, including those dimensions beyond our senses. The timeless and ever-flowing essence of manitou moves us all to seek a higher purpose, find hidden meaning, act with authenticity and integrity, and add genuine value through our interactions with the world around us.
