OODZEE-HOZO

[Native American] "The man who created himself". A man from the Abenaki Golden Age. He lived before legs were invented. He dragged his body around, thus creating mountains, valleys, and rivers (in this early form he is referred to as Bemee-geedzin-pobi-zeed). He also created the sacred Lake Champlain. Eventually he turned himself into a stone in the middle of the lake, and is said to inhabit Rock Dunder (west of Burlington, Vermont).
