about

An ode for all the spirits whose presence surrounds. Kulloo Bird is from the Mi'Kmaq legend and hieroglyphic drawings survive depicting the giant bird. Here is an excerpt from Spirits of the Land :

"“Kulloo, go up to the spirit world and let the Tree Spirits know it is time to come to the Earth World, and that they are to be accompanied by the Bird Spirits.”

So Kulloo flew up to the Spirit World, which is beyond the Sky World, and summons the Tree Spirits as well as the Bird Spirits. They arrive, and each bird had brought its song from the Spirit World. These songs filled the forest with breath-taking sounds.

Glooscap then turned to the young man and told him, “We will need the Animal Spirits also.”

The young man replies, “Then I will go and summon Kulloo, and tell him to take a message to the Spirit World.” The young man turns and summons Kulloo from the Sky World. Kulloo once again goes up to the Spirit World, and tells the Animal Spirits to come to the Earth to live. Kulloo soars back down, followed by the Animal Spirits, who go and inhabit the land. Glooscap is pleased, and Kji Niskam is pleased with the arrival of the spirits."
