Now, many years ago, we were forced to live in houses. now, the first house built to one family sat on the shores of the wolf river on the reservation of the menominee nation of woodland indians. than a second house was built through a trial on the river bank. in this house a mother and father raised their children. one day, their 3 year old drowned in the river. the child remained behind with other spirits who were and are to this day filling the house. this child plays to this day and is seen and heard. one day a brother to this child, took over this house. a spiritual man and a leader amounst his ppl. he found a partner. many years latter three grandchildren came to be. the grandmother of these children watched them close and even knifed the doors so they could not get out of the house, should they wake up early. one day, while a sleep, two of the grandchildren, than three and five years of age, managed to get out of the house. the grandmother slept on. than a vision of a tall faceless being entered her dreams. the vision spoke to her and told her that her grandchildren were by the river where their uncle had drowned. the being seemed not to have a sex and was an earthen color that can not be found. on the base of this tall spirit was a power force of destruction. yet the spirit with no face talked to this grandma and talked to her until she awoke. when she awoke the spirit still repeated the message. the grandmother now awake, saw the spirit and stared at the spirits size. what is this? she thought. for the spirit was solid and reaced the ceiling, seeming to go beyond the ceiling yet stay beneith it. as she heard the words from the spirit inside her head. the spirit pointed to the open door. the granmother, saw the door open wide, and as soon as it clicked in her mind, the spirit was gone. she ran to the river and found her two granchildren right were the spirit told her they would be. and this is so. for i was the grandmother. |
