Told by Peter York.[1](1/ "tree and pragmatics")

The Ojibwas were once entering Lake Couchiching by the west side in winter time on the ice.[2](2/ "tree and pragmatics") They were going across to fight the Mohawks on the east side, when an old Mohawk woman came down to the ice hole to get some water.[3](3/ "tree and pragmatics") She saw the Ojibwas coming and turned her back to them and exposed her anus in contempt and otherwise made fun of them.[4](4/ "tree and pragmatics") Then she went and told her people.[5](5/ "tree and pragmatics") The opposing warriors fought on the ice and the Mohawks were beaten.[6](6/ "tree and pragmatics") After the battle the Ojibwas painted a red woman in just the same position as the Mohawk woman posed, on the rocks on the east shore near where the fight took place (now called McPherson’s Quarry or Geneva Park).[7](7/ "tree and pragmatics") This figure now remains and can be seen to day.[8](8/ "tree and pragmatics") (It is about 5 or 6 feet above water and is about 1 ft. high.)[9](9/ "tree and pragmatics")

NO. 11.[10](10/ "tree and pragmatics")
