A wiigwaasabak (in Anishinaabe syllabics: ᐐᒀᓴᐸᒃ, plural: wiigwaasabakoon ᐐᒀᓴᐸᑰᓐ) is a birch bark scroll, on which the Anishinaabe peoples of North America, including the Ojibweg, wrote with a written language composed of complex geometrical patterns and shapes, perhaps tied to Hand Talk. When used specifically for Midewiwin ceremonial use, these scrolls are called mide-wiigwaas (in syllabics: ᒥᑌᐐᒀᔅ).
