"I AM TIRED OF THE LONELY LIFE; I HAVE COME FOR YOUR DAUGHTER."

GLOOSKAP, the magic master of the Indian tribes along the Atlantic coast of Canada, had very great power for many ages. But as he grew old, his power gradually grew less. He had done in his long lifetime many great and noble deeds. He had freed his land of all the mighty monsters that had inhabited it before his coming. No evil beasts nor serpents nor dragons were now found near his home, and there were no longer cruel giants in the forest hard by. He had made his people happy.

The great Earth Mother had two sons, Glooskap and Malsum. Glooskap was good, wise, and creative; Malsum was evil, selfish, and destructive.

WHEN Glooskap first reigned upon the earth, what is now the Moon shone by day and what is now the Sun shone by night.

At that time the Sun—the present Moon—kept very irregular hours, and was very careless about his work. Wall Canvas, Canvas Prints, Fine Art Prints, Framed Prints, Art Reproductions

The Creator sent a bolt of lightening across the sky that created Wskitqamu - the Earth. From that same bolt, Glooscap was created out of the dry earth. Glooscap lay on Wskitqamu, pointing his head, feet and hands to the Four Directions. Glooscap became a powerful teacher, a supernaturally strong spiritual leader (kinap) and a healer (puoin) who used his powers for the wellbeing of all. Old West
