Michabo (Michabou) – Algonquins’ Great Spirit With Power Over The Earth

A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Michabo (Michabou) was the Great Spirit of the Algoquins of - a group of North American Indian peoples who lived in the past on large areas of the continent. Currently, they are mostly scattered across Canada and the United States.

“Throughout the entire Algonquian area, these Indians never tired of gathering around their campfires and repeating the stories of Michabo.

According to ancient lore, a powerful supernatural entity or divine being descended to Earth and, upon arrival, encountered a solitary female inhabitant of exceptional beauty.

They fell in love and soon married. This union resulted in the birth of four male offspring; regrettably, their mother succumbed to childbirth's complications.

The oldest, strongest, and most courageous of four was Michabo (which comes from the Algonquin word for "Great Rabbit"), who was destined to become the friend of the human race.
