"The Ojibweg believe a medicine wind blows from the sky in the tent and that is how it shakes. All the dogs tied close by began to yelp and were afraid but the people were not, for it does not affect human beings. What come into the wiigwam to sing or talk are the water spirit Mishibizhiw and other spirits of bears, serpents and animals, thunderbirds, the spirit from the north called Wiindigo, the morning star, the sky, water, earth, sun and moon, also female and male sex organs. Each speaks in his own language but we have an interpreter whom we call Mikinaak, a small turtle .... who interprets for all these beings."
- Free after Miskwaabik Animikii (Copper Thunderbird), an account of the Ojibwe ceremony of Jiisakaan, the Shaking Tent.
