Vine Deloria's "Red Earth, White Lies mentions this. Louis and Clark noted that their native guides were in mortal terror of Mishipishu glyphs around the Mississippi since the obvious meaning of them was "Caution, one of these things LIVES here".

Congratulations on creating a noteworthy piece...HI,<br />Congratulations on creating a noteworthy piece of art with historical significance. I have long researched prehistoric American Indian use of copper and Mishi Peshu (Mishipizheu or underwater Panther) is one aspect of Prehistoric American Indians' perception of copper. I have a nice sized copper effigy of the underwater panther. Unfortunately, it looks more like a panther than a a Mish Peshu god.<br />Don Spohn Ph.
