This story is based on one found in the book “Algonquin Legends of New England”, published in 1884 and compiled by Charles Godfrey Leland. The Algonquians are one of the most populous and widespread North American native language groups. Today, thousands of individuals identify with various Algonquian peoples.

Their legends involve characters who are simultaneously human and at the same time represented by an animal or a magical being, or sometimes both, as is the case of the weasel fairy sisters.
