Maid of the Mist

As the legend of the Maid of the Mist goes, The tribes living along the Niagara River would often send canoes filled with gifts such as fruits, flowers and game over the Falls in order to please the Thunder God Hinum and his two sons that live behind the Falls. It was then, that after a period of hardship and desecration that the tribes would choose one of their most beautiful Maidens to be sent along with the other offerings to be sacrificed in order to appease the thunder gods.
