Gitche Manitou
Algonquian deity
Gitche Manitou
Gitche Manitou (Gitchi Manitou, Kitchi Manitou, etc.) means "Great Spirit" in several Algonquian languages. Gitche (Gizhe, Kitchi, or Kije) is directly defined as "grand" or "great" in Algonquian. The term typically refers to moral or spiritual greatness specifically, whereas the algonquian prefix "mang-" refers to the general quality of largeness (as in, "mangatemo" meaning, "wide road"). Manitou is a common Algonquian term for spirit, mystery, or deity. Christian missionaries have translated God as Gitche Manitou in scriptures and prayers in the Algonquian languages. Native American Churches in Mexico, the United States and Canada often use this term.
