Poor Oochigeaskw, dressed in wampun and birchbark, and wearing her father's great old

moccasins. Started across the village for her luck. And her sisters scorn was not bad enough.

Oochigeaskw courage was tested further. For the entire village was erupted into laughter, and

teased her as she walked by. Her sisters tried to put her down so she wouldn't go, but she

didn't obey. And went to the end of the lake where she was the Invisible ones sister. Despite

all the teasing from the villagers. Some say that it was her mother's spirit that walked with her

and helped her and gave her strength and it was indeed so.
