Mostly Solitary

Hares are mostly solitary. They don't have a permanent home but move about the countryside, sleeping where they can find camouflage.

A Powerful Hero

Throughout Algonquin culture the hare appears as a powerful hero. The first creator, the maker of the sun, moon and earth is called Michabo or The Great White Hare. Michalo has many talents – he is the ruler of the winds, mists, thunder and lightening, chief of all the animals, the guardian of the people, in inventor of picture writing and a shapeshifter.
