Indian Lodge Tales and the Manitou Canoe Legend
A fragment from Ford C. Frick-TT describes a rock formation at the New Mexico border resembling a canoe with two figures, around which a Lakota style legend grows. It recounts a flood, the Manitou guiding two survivors in a magical canoe, and the stay of a guiding monument on a mountain. The piece shifts to a note on dates and a mythic interpretation of prophecy.
