The Nipmuc people have a tale about the Mukkiah Weesug who are little people. Larry Spotted Crow Mann has a book of Algonquian tales of the Nipmuc Tribe called Drumming & Dreaming in which the Mukkiah Weesug tale is retold. You can find this book and other works from Larry Spotted Crow Mann at http://www.whisperingbasket.com/
At FCNS, we honor this early tale of the Nipmuc people with a place for the children to send and receive messages from the Mukkiah Weesug.
