Tales From The First Nation
Welcome to Tales from The First Nations. I’m Jay Idle, and every week I’ll share with you a tale and ancient wisdom of the native tribes of North America. I’ll be joined by my cats Dawa and Fonzie, who will undoubtedly make their presence known at some point, so I might as well just list them co-hosts. We hope you will enjoy the tales and wisdom, raise your vibration, and enrich your life with us every week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today's story is an old Algonquin legend. It is essentially a ghost story, but it teaches a valuable lesson. You should probably listen to it before sharing it with young children, but we can learn a lot from this tale.
