Winonah is the child that Geezhigo-Quae gave birth to on Turtle Island. Upon her birth, she quickly grew into a woman, knowing no time as a child. She lived among the people for many generations. She was taken by the Titan Aepungishimook, who came across her when he saw her bathing, and made her bear a son. He returned to her four times over four generations, and she bore him a son with each visit. With the last birth, she is said to have died, but her death was never to be permanent, and she has always returned. Her sons would come to bring the traditions to the people and clear the land of many of the bad Manitou that plagued them.
Winonah continues to exist in the World, and mothers many Scions. She is a very loving mother and puts much of her energy and time into fostering and adopting children of all sorts as well as standing up for women’s rights issues. She keeps on the move, staying one step ahead of Ae-pungishimook who still hunts for her every few generations when he awakens, to her dismay and inevitable and powerful defense. After a time, she fades from the World, leaving Geezhigo-Quae to tend to her Scions. Invariably, she returns when she has escaped the Titan’s spawn.
Winonah has appeared, given birth to pantheons, and died more than once. Her name changes, but she is always Sky Woman’s only daughter. In this way, she has many names and manifestations. The only real difference between manifestations is which Manitou she gives birth to. One manifestation in particular, called Tekawerahkwa, gave birth to two very different sons who frequently do battle with the sons of Winonah.
