This thrilling conclusion to the Algonquin Quest series ends the Anishinaabe peoples' fifty-year odyssey from the east coast of Turtle Island to the mysterious shadow of the Rocky Mountains.
Algonquin Legacy starts out fifteen years after the Battle of Crow Wing River where the combined allies of the Anishinaabe had fought the powerful Lakota nation in the Lakota homelands. The battle ended abruptly when there was a solar eclipse of the sun. This was an actual event that took place on July 16th, 1330, from 1:03 to 3:10 p.m. in the area where they were fighting. The warriors on both sides thought it was an omen and retreated.
When the Anishinaabe returned to their village the decision was made to go towards the western sun to settle. This decision came at great cost to the surviving family of the late Omàmiwinini (Algonquin) leader Mahingan. His son, daughter, and the great Mi´kmaq warrior Crazy Crow, went to the west with the Anishinaabe. Mahingan’s wife and nephews, along with their wives, friends, and Mahigan's brother, Mitigomij, the greatest warrior of them all who was also a shape shifter travelled back to their homelands along the Kitcisìpi Kitchi (Ottawa River). This split up a very strong family.
