Does anyone know the Winnebago (sp?) it's a North American creation story.?

Question

All I remember is a man cried to make the seas.

Answer 1

The Ho-Chunk and Winnebago are tribes of Native Americans, which were once a single tribe living in Wisconsin.
Kokopelli is a god worshipped in many tribes. He is a humpbacked flutist. Among the Winnebago, he has a penis which he detached and placed in a river in order to have sex with the girls who bathed in the river.
A Menominee chief saw a vision on the beach of Lake Michigan. A huge flock of ravens flew past him, shining brightly with color, unlike ordinary ravens. One landed and turned into a naked man. The chief ordered his people to give him clothing, for he deduced that he was a great chieftain. The rest of the ravens also turned into people and became the Winnebago.

Quite interesting mythology. Weird.

More info:
The Winnebago/Ho-Chunk occupied the area around Green Bay in Wisconsin, reaching beyond Lake Winnebago to the Wisconsin River and to the Rock River in Illinois. The influx of Native Americans fleeing eastern intertribal wars reduced their lands and brought European diseases which severely reduced the tribal population. The tribe traditionally practiced corn agriculture in addition to hunting. They were not advanced in agriculture but living on Green Bay they would fish, collect wild rice, gather sugar from maple trees, and would hunt wild animals or hunt game.

Through a series of moves imposed by the U.S. government in the 19th century, the tribe was moved to reservations in Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota and finally in Nebraska. Through these moves, many tribe members returned to previous homes, especially to Wisconsin despite repeated roundups and removals. The U.S. government finally allowed the Wisconsin Winnebago to homestead land there. The Nebraska tribe members are today the separate Winnebago tribe.
