This is a sacred site where generations of Ojibwe have come to record dreams, visions and events. The images visible today, include canoes and familiar animals such as moose, deer, bear and caribou. Other animal-like figures have horns and spines. The horned animal is said to be Misshepezhieu, the Great Lynx, the spirit of the water. Misshepezhieu could work for or against humans – he could calm the waters, or he could bring wind and storms by thrashing his tail. The trail to Agawa Rock is rugged, descending 30 metres (98 feet) through some interesting geological features: rock chasms, broken boulders and sheer cliffs. Beside the lake, a rock ledge stretches along the base of the pictograph cliff, which is accessible only when Lake Superior is calm. #canada #nativeamerican #waves #water #legend #art #dragon #myth #lakesuperior #lake #pictograph #picture #ojibwe #canadian #greatlakes #summer #sky #agawarock #hike #hiking #outdoor #getoutside #explore #travel #discover #greatlynx # (at Agawa Rock)
