Sleeping Bear and Indian Legends On Michigan Shores
A fragment from Detroit Free Press recounts Wien da goolslb, an Ottawa elder, sharing a Mauitou Islands Sleeping Bear legend about a mother bear and her cubs sparking guardians of tribal homes on Sleeping Bear Point. The piece also blends brief vignettes from urban life, an Brooklyn mice rescue, chewing gum debates, and a baker’s dozen of scattered notes on science, religion, and agriculture, plus oblique references to local crime and public notices.
