A venerable children's song insists that the Indians of old were consistently high-minded and ("bless my soul!") double-jointed. Perhaps so, but their favourite characters were anything but consistent in either character or physique. Their variability, the archaic symbols in their stories, and the anomalies that crept into those stories through countless re-tellings are not the least of the problems an adapter faces in preparing versions for children that will be comprehensible yet true to the spirit and flavour of the originals. One of the very few habitually high- minded Indian creations was the Waba- naki's humorous benevolent demigod, Glooscap, affable hero o r final authority in scores of legends. Glooscap created a world — parts of the Maritimes and New England — where the Wabanaki, sur- rounded by archetypal animal charac- ters, contended with King Winter, cruel Famine, cannibal chenoos, and cold- blooded, wizardly boooins.
