Nanabush


Nanabush was the grandson of the Earth, Nokomis, and because of this, was part human and part spirit. His talents were many, so the Great Spirit sent Nanabush to the north country to give the first animals their names and best features, and to help the first people learn how to hunt and find medicines. Above all, he was sent to teach them how to be kind and helpful toward one another.
