Scope and content
This file contains a retyped document titled "Traditions of the Indians" originally from 1879 with two Indigenous Traditional Stories titled "The Flood" and "Why the Mouse is Small and has Short Hair." Both Stories refer to "Mishi Manitou," the Bad Spirit, who in the myth "The Flood" was trying to destroy the world. The myth "Why the Mouse is Small and has Short Hair" details the consequences after the flood and is told by parents to give a warning to their children of what their rashness might bring upon them. [Originally titled: Ojibway Myth of the Flood]
