According to Ojibway mythology, Greenmantle was the daughter of an Ojibway chief. She was captured by the Sioux when they invaded the Thunder Bay, Ontario, area, over a hundred years ago. She was taken prisoner and forced by the Sioux to lead them to the Ojibway encampment. Pretending to betray her tribe, she leads them over Kekabeka Falls, instead, and escapes to warn her people.
