The Legend of Michigan
A beautifully told folktale rooted in the spirit of the Great Lakes.
Long ago, when the land we now call Michigan—or “Michigane”—was locked in endless winter, the cruel North Wind ruled with icy power. For thousands of years, no warmth could break through, and no life could thrive.
But hope arrives in the form of an old warrior and a young boy, who journey through the frozen wilderness armed with only their warm hearts and a pair of old mittens. Together, they defy the harsh cold and awaken the winds of the East, West, and South—ushering in the first signs of spring and the promise of new life.
Told in the tradition of Native-inspired legends, this enchanting story captures the magic, resilience, and heart of Michigan’s people and natural beauty. Perfect for children and adults alike, it's a timeless tale about courage, kindness, and the changing of seasons.
