Wisaaka redirect?

How come Wisaaka links to this page? Please clarify Goldenrowley 02:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't know. It seems all the various claims out there equates Wisaaka with Nanabozho, but it makes more sense for Wisaaka to instead go with Wiisagejaak. CJLippert 23:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)Reply


It seems to me that if a trickster story has been influenced by outside sources (Paul Bunyan) that, the 'modern day' made up story must carry a disclaimer. This is important to keep true form of the 'myths' of the Indian that were passed down-an important distinction is made by the disclaimer! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.206.239.159 (talk) 03:13, 20 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

These things tend to be pretty fluid, variable and evolving. North8000 (talk) 04:45, 20 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • - What is the earliest record of the account of Nanabozho? I know that Frederick Waugh was an ethnologist who researched Anishnaabe (Ojibwa) customs in 1916. He mentions the legendary character “Nanabojo” in some of his notebooks. However, I don't earlier sources, sorry. --108.170.134.154 (talk) 02:42, 29 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Need to Update Article

Is this true?

  • - "Until about 1850, legends about Nanabozho — also spelled Nanabosho or Nanabush — depicted him as a giant godlike figure. He controlled the seasons, formed the world's natural features and taught the Ojibwa how to hunt, cultivate food, tap maple trees and use healing herbs.

Sometime in the 20th century Nanabozho's persona changed and he became a trickster figure who often took the form of a hare."

According this Wikipedia article the pictograph deceipts Nanabozho. Does that refute that above from CBC?

Doubly so if you have sources, it sounds like you should be editing the article. North8000 (talk) 01:44, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for mentioning this! I've added that to the "In popular culture" section of the article. If you happen to know the year it was featured, it would be a great addition. Thanks again, The Fonz (talk) 04:08, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
