Occasionally long ago the shamans were accustomed to go to Pushaw Lake to test their magic power. One of their performances was to cause themselves to disappear as they would do if they were defeated by an enemy and forced to escape by flight. Some of them would indeed, dive into the water and emerge after having been transformed into otters, others into loons, muskrats, beavers, and minks. They rejoiced in being thus able to display to each other how they could perform magic acts.

Then said Gluskabe to his grandmother, “Now, grandmother, I am going to travel to search for and transform things, so that our descendants may not have such hard times to exist in the future. Now I am leaving, and shall inspect the rivers and lakes. I shall be gone long, but do not worry.” Then he started off paddling, and entered all the rivers emptying into the ocean. He inspected them. Wherever there were bad falls, he lessened them, so that they would not be too dangerous for his descendants. He cleared the carrying-places. Then he left his canoe upside down, where it turned into stone, and may be seen there yet.
