On the Mountains of the Prairie, / On the great Red Pipe-stone Quarry, / Gitche Manito, the mighty, / He the Master of Life, descending, / On the red crags of the quarry / Stood erect, and called the nations, / Called the tribes of men together.
From his footprints flowed a river, / Leaped into the light of morning, / O'er the precipice plunging downward / Gleamed like Ishkoodah, the comet. / And the Spirit, stooping earthward, / With his finger on the meadow / Traced a winding pathway for it, / Saying to it, "Run in this way!"
