So I just discovered this Cinderella story called āLittle Burnt Face,ā a story told by the Miākmaq people of the Northeastern Woodlands. Essentially, a girl has two sisters, one cruel, one vain. Whenever their father is off hunting, the cruel sister will beat the girl and even scar her with burning coals, to a point where people call her āLittle Burnt Face.ā (The sister gets away with it by telling the father that the girl fell into the fire after being told not to get too close). One day, a man known as the Great Chief, who is invisible to all but his sister, announces that he will marry any girl who can see him. Many girls try to lie about seeing him, including Little Burnt Faceās own sisters, but the Great Chiefās sister always sees through them when she asks them to describe certain details about them. One day, Little Burnt Face makes herself a dress and leggings out of a tree, and takes her fatherās moccasins, and goes to try to see the Great Chief for herself. She can, and so theyāre married, with the Great Chiefās sister washing her scars away, while her sisters return home in shame.
