Glossary
ILLUSTRATIONS
The rabbit tells Nanahboozhoo of his troubles
With the children cuddled around, Souwanas began
The wild and picturesque Ka-ka-be-ka Falls
They howled with rage and terror
The startling placard
While her mate stood beside her
Surrounding them were fierce Indian dogs
The beautiful reflections in the water
They tumbled the tall ghost over
Their dog trains were in constant demand
Where the fire was stolen
The coyote was too quick for them
Across a single log at a dizzy height
Which white men now call Cathedral Mountain
Their babies with them
Gave him such a terrible beating
The big rock was surely gaining on him [note: not in actual text]
Sun dance lodge of the Blood Indians
They both threw their magic sticks
He took a leap into the open mouth
He ran away west, to the great mountains
Wigwams and Indians
The Indian story-teller
Nanahboozhoo then mounted on the back of the great buzzard
With Mary and Kennedy in the birch canoe
Nanahboozhoo gave him a great push
They were excited at his coming
