#LegendOfTheFalls

This weekend I've decided to go backpacking in a century-old pine forest hunting grounds for a return to my roots with some Native Cousins-descent where a tragic story happened many moons ago. Actually it is a legend; a legend where an Algonquin tribe with an old wicked and all-powerful Sorcerer named Nipissingue coveted the lovely Hiawhitha who none in the tribe dare to oppose him.

Unfortunately for the Sorcerer, Hiawhitha decided to give her heart to Arondack, the sworn enemy of Nipissingue. Whereupon, the Sorcerer launched the Algonquins on a warpath and counted on the fate of the battle to get rid of Arondack. He judged well; Arondack was fatally wounded but managed to get back to his wigwam in the village. Hiawhitha, daughter of the chief, who was the tribe's healer sat down at his bedside and nursed him.

One day missing some medicinal plants, Hiawhitha made her way to the steep precipice at Dorwin where at the bottom, a thin rivulet of water trickled, grew some native flora sarsaparilla roots which was in need for Arondack wounds. But not far away in a hot pursuit of his prey, Nipissingue sees her and engaged flung himself on her thereby throwing her into the ravine. As Hiawhitha's body touched the thin rivulet of water, a loud thunderclap reverberated through the gorge and Hiawhitha's long white linen robe turned into a magnificent 60ft high waterfall.

Then precisely at that moment Nipissingue stupefied and was transformed into stone by the Great Manitou thus condemned him for the eternity to hear Hiawhitha's triumphant song of victory; which is the sound of the falls.

Today we can still see Sorcerer Nipissingue's head of rock near the falls.
