MOOWIS, WHERE ARE YOU, MOOWIS? (ALGONQUIN)

An Algonquin legend about two young people who lose each other’s love through pride and jealousy. This is the story of a young warrior called "Handsome Fellow" and of the Chief’s beautiful daughter Cochis who spurns him. Unable to win Cochis and unwilling that anyone else should, he connives with a spirit to turn a snow man into Moowis, a man so beautiful that Cochis falls in love with him. When Moowis melts, Cochis is heartbroken and her cries echo forever in the heart of the one they call "Handsome Fellow." (26 minutes)
