Ho-Chunk mythology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ho-Chunk and Winnebago are tribes of Native Americans, which were once a single tribe living in Wisconsin. The Winnebago now live in Nebraska and the Ho-Chunk still reside in Wisconsin.

[edit] Arrival

A Menominee chief saw a vision on the beach of Lake Michigan. A huge flock of ravens flew past him, shining brightly with color, unlike ordinary ravens. One landed and turned into a naked man. The chief ordered his people to give him clothing, for he deduced that he was a great chieftain. The rest of the ravens also turned into people and became the Winnebago.
