 * Manitou**

One aspect of the Algonquin culture was the belief in manitous. or spirits from nature. These spirits could cause harm or good. The manitous were believed to speak to the religious leaders or shamans in their dreams and visions. With your group, choose one of the aspects of nature that your nation would experience and create a manitou. When creating it, describe what the spirit is and how it causes harm or good to your people.

How does it help your people? How does it hurt your people? One way that the panther helps us is,gives us fur.Also,gives us food and bones for tools.You can use the paw as a shoe.It can hurt us by,attacking us and running away and we won't have any food.
