mətéwihle
mətéwihle translates roughly to “bird of medicine.” Loons are very sacred and powerful, in our traditional stories mətéwihle was a close companion of Gluskape. One story says that loons call their mournful song because they are crying out longingly for Gluskape, awaiting his return from the North. The map of the watersheds of the Chaudiere, Kennebec and Penobscot rivers was created by land surveyor Montresor in 1761, he drew this map after the Wabanaki guides told him he wasn’t allowed to make maps if they guided him.
