Title: Myths and Folk-lore of the Timiskaming Algonquin and Timagami Ojibwa
Contributor: Corporation de la Maison Dumulon (sharing)
Creator: Frank G. Speck
Language: eng
Spatial Coverage: Timiskaming (Témiscamingue)
Description: Pages 2 to 21 of the book tell the stories of Wiskedjak, a gray jay who changes appearance—often in spite of himself. These tales belong to a narrative tradition common in several communities: stories of shapeshifting tricksters.

Pages 22 to 26 list elements of Timiskaming community folklore, such as the Windigo, a cannibalistic creature that roams the woods, or Paguk, an undead skeleton whose rattling sounds portend bad omens.
