Mystery, magic, and manitoes abound in the land of Hiawatha, in the land of the Ojibwas, among the green islands, graceful and beautiful, lying amidst the dancing blue waters when the sun shines over Gitche Gomee, the Great Water.

And adventures there were in those early days amongst these islands of the North, when manitoes directed the affairs of men.

Myths And Legends Of The Pacific Northwest Especially Of Washington And Oregon THE ORIGIN OF DAYLIGHT Nanaimo modification of the mingit legend WHEN the earth was very new and young, it was dark and cold and gray. Even the stars were black. There was no light anywhere for Gull kept it in a small box which he guarded carefully. His cousin, Raven, was tired of the dark. He wished for the daylight. One day when Gull and Raven were out walking, Raven thought, " I wish Gull would run a thorn into his foot." Hardly had he thought so, when, in the darkness, Gull stepped on a thorn. "Sqendn ! My foot ! " ried Gull. "A thorn ?" asked Raven. "Let me see it. I will take it out." But it was so dark Raven could not see the thorn. He asked Gull to open the box and make it light. Gull opened it just a little way and the light was very faint. Raven said, " You must give me more light' Gull answered, "Sqendn ! " So Raven pretended not to see the thorn. Instead of pulling it out, he pushed it in deeper and deeper, saying, " You must give me more light." " Sqendn! sqendn ! My foot ! my foot ! " cried Gull. Raven pushed the thorn in deeper and deeper until Gull at last opened the box. That is the way the daylight came.
