ODZIOZO

Algonquin Creator God

Also known as Bemee-Geedzin-Pobi-Zeed, Odzeez, Odzihodo, Odzihozo, Ojihozo, Wo-Ja-Ho-Sen

Legless God of Bulldozing, Earth-moving and Creative Geography

He lived in a time before legs were created, and so had to drag himself around by the arms. In the process of heaving his enormous body across the terrain, he created all the valleys, rifts, river beds and mountains we see today.

Finally he crawled to the top of a rock in the middle of Lake Champlain and fell into an exhausted sleep. He’s still there. Someone should wake him up and tell him that legs have been invented.
