| How Dogs Came to the Indians How Dogs Came To The IndiansAn Ojibwa story*Two Ojibwa Indians in a canoe had been blown far from shore by a greatwind. They had gone far and were hungry and lost. They had little strengthleft to paddle, so they drifted before the wind. At last their canoe was blown onto a beach and they were glad, but not forlong. Looking for the tracks of animals, they saw some huge footprintsthat they knew must be those of a giant. They were afraid and hid in thebushes. As they crouched low, a big arrow thudded into the ground closebeside them. Then a huge giant came toward them. A caribou hung from hisbelt, but the man was so big that it looked like a rabbit. He told them thathe did not hurt people and he like to be a friend to little people, whoseemed to the giant to be so helpless. He asked the two lost Indians tocome home with him, and since they had no food and their weapons hadbeen lost in the storm at sea, they were glad to go with him. An evil Windigo spirit came to the lodge of the giant and told the two menthat the giant had other men hidden away in the forest because he like toeat them. The Windigo pretended to be a friend, but he was the one whowanted the men because he was an eater of people. The Windigo becamevery angry when the giant would not give him the two men, and finally thegiant became angry too. He took a big stick and turned over a big bowl withit. A strange animal which the Indians had never seen before lay on the floor,looking up at them. It looked like a wolf to them, but the giant called theanimal 'Dog.' The giant told him to kill the evil Windigo spirit. The beastsprang to its feet, shook himself, and started to grow, and grow, and grow.The more he shook himself, the more he grew and the fiercer he became. Hesprang at the Windigo and killed him; then the dog grew smaller andsmaller and crept under the bowl. The giant saw that the Indians were much surprised and pleased with Dogand said that he would give it to them, though it was his pet. He told themen that he would command Dog to take them home. They had no idea howthis could be done, though they had seen that the giant was a maker ofmagic, but they thanked the friendly giant for his great gift. The giant took the men and the dog to the seashore and gave the dog acommand. At once it began to grow bigger and bigger, until it was nearlyas big as a horse. The giant put the two men onto the back of the dog andtold them to hold on very tightly. As Dog ran into the sea, he grew stillbigger and when the water was deep enough he started to swim stronglyaway from the shore. After a very long time, the two Ojibwa began to see a part of the seacoastthat they knew, and soon the dog headed for shore. As he neared the beach,he became smaller and smaller so that the Indians had to swim for thelast part of their journey. The dog left them close to their lodges anddisappeared into the forest. When the men told their tribe of theiradventure, the people though that the men were speaking falsely. "Show useven the little mystery animal, Dog, and we shall believe you," a chiefsaid. A few moons came and went and then, one morning while the tribe slept,the dog returned to the two men. It allowed them to pet it and took foodfrom their hands. The tribe was very much surprised to see this newcreature. It stayed with the tribe. That, as the Indians tell, was how the first dog came to the earth. *Ojibwa {oh-jib'-way} The Ojibwa (or Chippewa) are a tribe of Algonquian-speaking North American Indians of the Upper Great Lakes. When first encountered in the 1600s by French explorers near Sault Sainte Marie, Canada, their small bands lived in tiny, self-governing villages without any tribal organization. Later, as they prospered in the fur trade and expanded their population and territory, the Ojibwa developed new tribal-level institutions, including the Midewiwin, or Grand Medicine Society. By the late 18th century the Ojibwa had driven the Iroquois out of the Ontario peninsula. They also moved into western Wisconsin and northeastern Minnesota, driving away the powerful Santee Sioux after a long war. In the early 19th century Ojibwa communities existed in the Canadian provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan and the states of North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio. Generally located in areas remote from English and American frontier settlements, the Ojibwa managed to maintain many of their traditional cultural traits, such as skill in woodcraft and the use of birchbark canoes. The name Ojibwa is favored in Canada, but Chippewa is more often used in the United States. Chippewa on or near U. S. reservations number about 50,000 (1989 est.). James A. Clifton |
