Passamaquoddy Texts — Part 41

Then after that, the Indians could go out in their canoes all day long; there was always a calm; many days, many weeks and months; (in) the lake(s) then the water became stagnant. It was so thick Kuloskap could not manage his canoe.

Passamaquoddy Texts — Part 41

He remembers the great bird; and he goes to see him again. Where he had left him, there once more he finds (him) Wuchowsen, because he is immortal; he lifts him up; he puts him again on the rock; he loosens one of his wings. Then afterwards it never blew as (it blew) of old.

Passamaquoddy Texts — Part 41

When Kuloskap went away, he had got rid of all the terrible monsters; everything had gone then; the Kiwa‛kws no longer wandered wildly in the forests; the Kulloo no longer frightened (man), spreading his wings like a cloud between him and the sun; the evil Cheenoo in the north devours him no longer, nor are evil beasts, demons or great serpents to be found near where he is (lives).

This Kuloskap teaches mankind how to be more and more happy; yet they are not grateful; when the Indians (and) animals became bad, they irritated Kuloskap very much. So then, he can live no more with them; so he makes a feast near Lake Minas; all the Indians and beasts go to it; when it is over, he gets into a great canoe; the Indians look after him until they see him no more. Then after they had lost sight of him, they still hear him singing; it gets fainter as he departs; (until) at length it is not heard at all any more. Then all are silent.

And a wonder comes upon them. The animals used to use one speech together; but now whenever anyone calls (says anything), he uses first one (language) and then another. No more they shall be together again until Kuloskap returns; then again, he will make feasts for them; then again, the Indians will dwell peacefully together. Everything mourns.
