Question

These people followed the Miigis shell as it rose and sank to a land where food grew upon water. An otter offered these people’s sacred rites to their trickster figure after underwater spirits killed the latter’s wolf brother. The Seven Fires prophecies and maps on wiigwaasabak (“weeg-WAH-suh-buck”), or birch bark scrolls, trace these people’s migration west. A culture hero of these people defeated Paul Bunyan in a fight, whacking him with a fish in embellished online retellings. A hero of these people also known as Mishaabooz (-5[1])who defeated the (*) Windigo with plenty is imagined walking with Linnaeus among the retellings in Braiding Sweetgrass. Nokomis raised that trickster of these people, erroneously equated by (-5[1])Henry Wadsworth Longfellow with Hiawatha.
