THE AURORA BOREALIS

IN THE Land of the North Wind live the manabaiwok, the giants of whom our old people tell.

The manabaiwok are our friends, but we do not see them any more. They are great hunters and fishermen. Whenever they come out with their torches to spear fish, we know it because the sky is bright over that place.
