Chippewa mythology

The Chipppewa (also Ojibwa, Anishaabe) are a tribe of Native Americans located in the Great Lakes region of the United States. The Midewin are the spiritual leaders of the tribe. A particularly well-respected male spirittual leader was called Tcisaki. Chippewa mythology is known from oral legends passed down through the generations, such as the Atisokan, which are told only in winter in order to preserve their transformative powers.

Nanabozho (also known as Wenabozho) is the trickster, who sometimes takes the form of a hare. Aniwye is a skunk spirit and was involved in the creation of skunks.

Bagucks is a mischievous spirit, a skeletal bird. He is a skeleton because he has starved himself out of obstinance. Wemicus is a trickster god.
