Aayaase

Aayaase

Aayaase (also known as ᐋᔾᔮᐦᔥ (Aayaash; unpointed as ᐊᔾᔭᔥ) or Iyash; recorded by William Jones as Āyāsä) [Jones, William (1917-19). "Ojibwa Texts", vol. ii. Truman Michelson, ed. Leyden, New York: G. E. Stechert & co., pp. 380-393] is a character found in the "Aadizookaan" of the Anishinaabe peoples. Similar in nature to the Ojibwa Nanabozho stories, the Aayaash stories tell of his trials and tribulations, with each story carrying a moral.
