Before Europeans encountered the great lakes, the Native Americans had hunted along its banks and fished and drank from its waters. The stories that come down from them begins our strange tales of the Great Lakes.

Monsters . . .

Charles Cassady Jr. relates many native American Legends in his Paranormal Great Lakes (a book that covers all of the subjects listed in this article and so much more. I highly recommend it!)

Chippewa and Canadian Indians told of Naitaka, a long necked monster that ate men and deer alike. The Chippewa also told of a nameless beast, the Giant Sturgeon of Lake Superior that ate whole ships. Ojibway Indians said Mishipishu was another monster of Lake Superior. It was a giant, cat-like creature, with something like spines down its back, who protected its copper at Isle Royale & Michipicoten Island, like a dragon protecting its gold. It's tail could level one whole village. And then there was the snake-like Mishi Ginabig, a great Horned Serpent who battled the equally massive Thunderbird. The Thunderbird won the battle, taking the giant serpent form the water and carrying it away, as lightning flashed and thunder shook the skies.
