Note 42 — Chapter II · MYTHS AND FOLK-LORE OF THE TIMAGAMI OJIBWA.

One evening, while Gitcikwe′we was sitting in his wigwam, he became very much frightened. He saw nothing in particular that frightened him, but on account of his mi·te′w feeling he became afraid and knew that something was coming. At dusk he gathered up his blankets and jumped into his canoe with his family, and they floated on the lake beside the camp, all night long. When he went back to the wigwam in the morning, he found that a Windigo42 had been there and had smashed his wigwam.
