This Creation Legend was given to him by the Ojibwa Midewiwin, religious, Society with a coded message for future Ojibwa People. The entire Legend was not used by Longfellow, and the name of our teacher, Manaboozhoo was changed to his friend, Iroquois leader Hiawatha. The part, he did not use, was given to Henry Rowe Schoolcraft. Fred Jack Amikoonsgiyamanitoumahwhingon Miles Ojibwa Elder
