  a

  to 
  represent 
  the 
  migra- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  Otter 
  toward 
  the 
  west 
  after 
  

   he 
  had 
  received 
  the 
  rite 
  of 
  the 
  Mide- 
  

   wiwin.

  as

   described. 
  No. 
  2 
  in 
  Fig.

  is 
  a 
  line 
  

   separating 
  the 
  history 
  of 
  the 
  Mide' 
  

   wiwin 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  migration 
  as 
  

   follows: 
  When 
  the 
  Otter 
  had 
  offered 
  

   four 
  prayers, 
  as 
  above 
  mentioned, 
  

   which 
  fact 
  is 
  referred 
  to 
  by 
  the 
  spot 
  

   No. 
  3, 
  he 
  disappeared 
  beneath 
  the 
  

   surface 
  of 
  the 
  water 
  and 
  went 
  toward 
  

   the 
  west, 
  whither 
  the 
  Ani'shina'beg 
  

   followed 
  him, 
  and 
  located 
  at 
  Ottawa 
  

   Island 
  (No. 
  4). 
  Here 
  they 
  erected 
  the 
  

   Mide'wigan 
  and 
  lived 
  for 
  many 
  years. 
  

   Then 
  the 
  Otter 
  again 
  disappeared 
  

   beneath 
  the 
  water, 
  and 
  in 
  a 
  short 
  

   tirre 
  reappeared 
  at 
  A'wiat'ang 
  (No. 
  

   5), 
  when 
  the 
  Mide'wigan 
  was 
  again 
  

   erected 
  and 
  the 
  sacred 
  rites 
  con- 
  

   ducted 
  in 
  accordance 
  with 
  the 
  teach- 
  

   ings 
  of 
  Mi'nabo'zho. 
  Thus 
  was 
  an 
  

   interrupted 
  migration 
  continued, 
  the 
  

   several 
  resting 
  places 
  being 
  given 
  

   below 
  in 
  their 
  proper 
  order, 
  at 
  each 
  

   of 
  which 
  the 
  rites 
  of 
  the 
  Mide'wiwin 
  

   were 
  conducted 
  in 
  all 
  their 
  purity. 
  

   The 
  next 
  place 
  to 
  locate 
  at 
  was 
  

   Mi'shenama'kinaguug 
  — 
  Mackinaw
