^ The whole motif, beginning where One-Leg befriends the young woman, occurs in 
a Menomini story, in which, however, the mischief-maker is not the Culture Hero, but 
the rabbit, and “prairie-weeds were his arrows.” Three facts seem relevant, though I do 
not know in what relation they stand: (1) the story is not a typical Culture Hero tale, 
but one of the few in which he appears as a secondary character; (2) in general the 
Culture Hero plays a more important part in Menomini thought and story than in Cree; 
(3) his name in Menomini is me'najms : “Big-Rabbit,” which may be an adaptation 
of Ojibwa nancdmc (Cree, eastern, nanapus), or of some earlier Menomini form. 
* “Our elder brother,” part of the deception, since everyone is Wisahketchahk’s 
younger brother or sister, cf. immediately below, where he says nimn : “my yoimger 
brother.”
