Ataentsik

The ancestor-hero of the Algonquian Passamaquoddy Indians, Ataentsik
arrived on the eastern shores of Turtle Island (North America) from “the first
island in the sea.” His name, function as a founding father, and origin define him
as an Atlantean visitor. Among the Hurons, however, Ataensik is the name of
“Sky Woman,” who, perishing, gave life to all creatures.
