[Algonquiana] Legend

[Bousquet Marie-Pierre]

Kwe kakina, hi everyone,

I am looking for documentation about specific little people. There are different kind of little people among the Algonquins: memegweshik, Anishinabeshishak, Nadoweshishak. I am looking for stories about little people who smell the food to get fed. They come during the night and you know they came because the food has no flavour. One of my informants told me they have no bums and apparently no mouth. I would like to know if someone has heard of that legend.

Kitci mikwetc, many thanks,
