the young woman (Mukakee Mindemoea legend)

Role: mother · First appears: Mukakee Mindemoea; or, the Toad-Woman

In Mukakee Mindemoea; or, the Toad-Woman, the young woman married the handsome young man (Mukakee Mindemoea legend) and had a son. When Mukakee Mindemoea stole him, she pursued them and sought help from old women. At length, the last of the friendly old Nocoes told her how to find her son and directed her to make a cedar-bough lodge and set out milk.

In a short time, the little dog (Mukakee Mindemoea legend) found her and recognized the food she had given him. She told him, “the food you used to have from me, your mother.” Later, she told her son that she was his real mother and that Mukakee Mindemoea had stolen him; when she showed him his real cradle, its familiar material and the marks of the dog’s teeth convinced him.
