gluscap was a Barbarosa. Generations of families that did the same thing. The grave where he took, his mother is in North River. it's about a three hour walk and it is wide-open part of the grand grave of Saint Ann's Harbor

let me tell you something: when the tribes reunite in independent power again, as it was, i hope there'd be no celebrations for a week and maintain a solemn grey gravity.

Oh!! Instead of Eve and Adam in the Bible story.The woman is recognized as the grandmother. Jist like the Cree believe that the woman is the grandma. I had shared this ad well in a comment watching Cree nation about the woman being recognized as grandma...in which my mother and grandmother would say oh grandma came to visit you . That's when a girl have her period ...so the blood represent grandmother in which she bare children of the generation. The apple in the Bible story represent Eve had sex with Adam so she has started the course of maturity to bare kids which represents Life. So thats how they acknowledge the apple in the Bible .
