[545] Williams, pp. 157-58; Winslow, pp. 355-56. Morton, pp. 167-68,
also recounts a creation story, in which the people so anger Kiehtan
that he destroys all that are evil in a flood. Morton’s version
sounds like a re-make of the flood story in Genesis. However, a
common tale in North American Indian mythology involves the existence
of the world in some other state, its destruction and subsequent
transformation into its present form. It is impossible to tell from
the evidence at hand the extent to which the story’s aboriginal
content has been altered through contact with Christian mythology.

[562] Some of the historical sources and the example of other
Algonquian groups suggest that this power varied in its nature from
one powow to another, depending upon the kind of spirit which gave
it, thus the abilities of powows would vary accordingly as to what
sorts of things they were able to do. This in turn was displayed in
various individualized types of tricks.
