The God of the Indians has always a corporeal form, and is generally of immense stature. He is chiefly represented as a man possessed of great dimensions and mighty corporeal strength. Sometimes however he takes the shape of a beast. Charlevoix says: "Almost all the Algonquin nations have siren the name of the _Great Hare_ to the first spirit. Some call him _Michabou_, _i.e._ God of the Waters; others _Atoacan_, the meaning of which I do not know. The greatest part say that, being supported on the waters with all his court, all composed of _four-footed creatures like himself_, he formed the earth out of a grain of sand taken from the bottom of the ocean, &c. Some speak of a God of the Waters, who opposed the design of the _Great Hare_, or at least refused to favour it. _This God is, according to some, the Great Tiger_." _Charlevoix_, ii, 107, 108. And see tradition _supra_. The Hurons believe him to be the sun. _Ibid_. The same author remarks (_page_ 109) that "the Gods of the savages have, according to their notions, bodies and live much in the same manner as we do," &c. Carver says "the Indians appear to fashion to themselves corporeal representations of their Gods, and believe them to be of a human form." Wennebea, one of the Indian chiefs seen by Long in his expedition to the source of St. Peter's River, thought the Great Spirit had a human form, and wore a _white hat_. It surely cannot after this be held that the "ideas of an Indian have _always_ a degree of sublimity." I have never seen an Indian who believed the Supreme Being to have other than a human form, or to be of less than Almighty power and dimensions. An Indian, who was in the service of the Author during the entire period between childhood and manhood, and used to delight and astonish him with his sublime though most natural conceptions of Infinity and the Godhead, always called him the Great Good Man. The "Prince of the power of the air," he very appositely called the "Little Bad Man." POMATARE, THE FLYING BEAVER.
