Even the medicine<br \/>man died; and with his death all hope vanished.<\/p>\n<p>Although the delivery of messages in winter was unheard of and<br \/>had never before been attempted the chief asked his mizhinihway<br \/>(messenger) to go to the next village for some medicines.<\/p>\n<p>In those days each chief had a messenger who delivered notices<br \/>and messages to distant places. Journeys even in summer were difficult;<br \/>unheard of during the winter when there were no moccasins.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless Koo-Koo-Lee prepared to go. But like the rest, he<br \/>too fell ill. His wife, anxious for his life, left the lodge and<br \/>slipped out into the cold. Oblivious to the cold, almost indifferent<br \/>to the snow crusts, and anxious only to get medicines for her husband<br \/>and the people of her village, Koo-Koo-Lee&rsquo;s wife ran swiftly over the drifts.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning the people of the village were startled to hear<br \/>her cries coming from the forest. \u00ab\u00a0Koo-Koo-Lee; come and get me.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Men and women recognizing her voice ran out into the forest where<br \/>they found her lying in the snow, her feet swollen and bleeding<br \/>from frost bite, but the medicines in her bundle for her husband<br \/>and the rest of the sick people in the village. The men carried<br \/>her back to her lodge and wrapped her feet in thick warm deer skins.<\/p>\n<p>For her sacrifice to her husband and devotion to her people, she<br \/>was named thereafter Wah-on-nay. On her death her foot wrappings<br \/>became little flowers of yellow, called by some Wah-on-nay moccasinun;<br \/>by others Koo-Koo-Lee moccasinun. They are also known as Lady&rsquo;s Slippers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anishinabe Mythology Wiki The term Ojibwe comes from Outchibou, a name given in the 17th century to a group that lived in \u2026 <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":3405,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-15288","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15288"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25293,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15288\/revisions\/25293"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
