Island legends and the fairies of Mackinac Island
Historic Mackinac Island is linked to Ojibway legends of Mishimikinak the giant turtle and Gitche Manitou. The tale describes a rise from the strait, a blessing arch gateway, and fairies who vanished when pale visitors came. A 1763 tale of a captain and a fairy woman ends in tragedy atop Robinson’s Folly. The piece invites visitants to read local history, note the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad, and brace for cool weather.
