Long ago, after the Great Mystery, or Kitchi-Manitou, first put people on the earth, the Anishinabe, or Original People, strayed from their peaceful ways. They began to argue and fight with one another. Brother turned against brother and soon the Anishinabe were killing one another over hunting grounds and other things. Seeing that harmony and respect for all living things no longer existed on Earth, Kitchi-Manitou decided to purify the Earth.

  • I love that many Native American legends are very similar to the accounts in the Bible... it shows me we are all meant to be brothers. I am proud of my Anishinabe heritage (however far back in my blood it may be).
