Description
Manitou Hill, an Algonquian story based in western Long Island.
During a great drought, the Manitou instructs a sachem, through a dream, to stand at the top of Manitou Hill and fire an arrow into the air, and on the spot where the arrow lands, he says the people should dig until they find water.
For Algonquian people, the Manitou is known as the unseen power throughout the universe, being present during moments of the miraculous and mysterious.
The people dug and the water spring that was found, called Mascopas, is now beneath a local high school athletic field.
