Hoffman, “The Menomini Indians,” Fourteenth Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, p. 288. Papers of the Archæological Institute of America, Vol. II, p. 138. I must now bring this brief chapter to a close. But first I would give one further example. It is an account of the Pelew matrons’ work in the taro fields.
Among the Menomini Indians, for instance, a woman of good circumstances would own as many as 1200 to 1500 birch-bark vessels. In the New Mexico Pueblos what comes from the outside of the house as soon as it is inside is put under the immediate control of the women.
The custom of apologizing to an animal on killing it, frequent elsewhere, is reported as existing among the Algonkin Ottawas and Menomini; but this is not necessarily totemic. The Navahos are said to refrain from the flesh of fish, turkeys, swine, and bears, but the grounds of the interdiction are not clear.
The long years that have passed since he lived have, like the fogs and mists, made it less easy to say exactly who he really was, but I will try to tell you. Nanahboozhoo was not from one tribe only, but from all the Indians. Hence it is that his very name is so different. "The Ojibway call him Mishawabus Great Rabbit; the Menomini call him Manabush. He had other names also.
