Note 24 — Chapter II · MYTHS AND FOLK-LORE OF THE TIMAGAMI OJIBWA.
Reading edition
The hole is a circle composed of seven stars (Pleiades). This was the first mite′win or “conjuring” lodge. Seven poles are necessary to build this lodge. Unless seven are used, the conjurer’s tent will not rock. The old woman tends the mite′win. When she moves from the hole, there is sure to be mite′win somewhere here below. The stars form the rim of the hole through which she lowered the two girls. ↑
