perceive disturbances on a cosmic scale. He can also shapeshift between humanoid and animal
forms as in ancient times when he appeared as various animal forms or project his image into
clouds or stellar matter such as the Aurora Borealis to the Inuits.

History: 

Manabozho is the son of the wind-god Gaoh and Awenhai, the earth goddess. According to myth, he and his brother,
Nanabozho, were enemies before birth and even fought in the womb. Their birth killed their mother and Nanabozho
blamed him for her death. Manabozho fled to Earth where he found comfort in his great-grandmother Gaea in her
role as Nokomis. He developed compassion for mortal men and stole fire from heaven to help keep them warm. He
taught them to not be afraid of night as he protected them from the evil of his brother.

Manabozho's brothers, Chibiabos and Wabasso often visited him on earth and took tales of his accomplishments
back to heaven (Since they are described as his younger brothers, their mother must have been restored to life).
While on Earth, Chibiabos was abducted by evil spirits known as the Anamaqkiu and taken to the underworld.
Manabozho went to rescue him and killed two of them, but Chibiabos stayed behind to safely receive the spirits of
mortals who died. The Anamaqkiu, however, sent a great flood to Earth from the underworld as Manabozho rushed
ahead and saved mankind and animals on a great tree that floated on the waters. The tree came to rest on a mountain
that Manabozho climbed into heaven where he was received by Gitche Manitou, the Great Spirit. Measured by his
deeds, Manabozho became Manitou and replaced him as Ruler of the Anasazi.
