WHAT A DIFFERENCE A VOWEL MAKES
I see that the reason I googled nothing for Wisekedjak is that he is Wisakedjak.
Still there's a bit of confusion. Some sources say the Cree have a "wis-kat-jan," and "Whisky Jack" is a corruption of "Whisky John." Others have Wisakedjak, "flatterer" as his name.
Either way, he seems to have rabbit ears. That makes him a bit of a pooka, doesn't it?
I wonder if Coyote and Whisky Jack are at odds (as predator and prey)?
