LEGEND OF THE WHITE CANOE
Living beside mighty Niagara, the peaceful
tribe of the Ongiaras believed that its roar
was the voice of the Great Spirit. Each year
it was the custom to offer the fairest of their
maidens as a sacrifice. The last of the
maidens to be thus sacrificed was Lelawala,
the daughter of Chief Eagle Eye who, after
witnessing the sacrificial plunge over the
Falls, joined his daughter in death after the
same fashion. Supposedly, Lelawala, known
to us as the Maid of the Mist, and her father
still live in a crystal cave behind the water-
falls.
