Shinʹgebis

in North American Indian mythology, is a diver who dared the North Wind to single combat. The Indian Boreas rated him for staying in his dominions after he had routed away the flowers, and driven off the sea-gulls and herons. Shinʹgebis laughed at him, and the North Wind went at night and tried to blow down his hut and put out his fire. As he could not do this, he defied the diver to come forth and wrestle with him. Shinʹgebis obeyed the summons, and sent the blusterer howling to his home. (Longfellow: Hiawatha.) (See Kabibonokka.)
