Pretending to be lost and frightened, she bargained with<br \/>them to spare her life in return for leading them to her father&#039;s camp.<\/p>\n<p>The Sioux agreed and the following morning the young princess was<br \/>placed in the lead canoe and the great band of Sioux, with their<br \/>canoes tied together, set out for the Ojibway camp. Green mantle<br \/>did not tell them of the falls, and as they swiftly turned the bend<br \/>of the river, they plunged into the great gorge. Along with the<br \/>Sioux warriors, the Princess lost her life, but her tribe was spared<br \/>the torture of the most feared of all the tribes. The Great Manitou<br \/>looked kindly upon the brave deed of the Princess.<\/p>\n<p>Today, if one walks along the river bank to the point of the falls,<br \/>the figure of Green Mantle can be seen in the mist, standing as<br \/>a monument to the memory of the courageous Princess who gave her<br \/>life for her people.<\/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-15329","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15329","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=15329"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15329\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25299,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15329\/revisions\/25299"}],"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=15329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
