KEEWAHKWEE (PENOBSCOT)

The story of the cannibal ogre who hides its face from the child it had stolen to fatten up can be found throughout Algonquin traditions. Unlike the giants, who are visibly not human beings, these creatures can pass for people as long as their hideous faces are not seen. The rabbit or some other game animal whose life is spared and who then helps a child is a common theme in such stories. By behaving politely to his elders (animal or human), while the cannibal ogre is always rude, the little boy or girl is able to escape his pursuer and find the way back to his or her real family.
