Mink Legend

The First Nations People had numerous legends about the animals that lived around them. Unlike John Tod, whose interest in animals was motivated by his desire to improve his chances of securing game, the First Nations people believed animals were a part of their way of life. They created stories and prayers about them. Using animals as a basis, the First Nations people told stories that taught lessons to each other. Click above to explore some of the legends that the First Nations pass on to their children.
