Shhhh…. SHHHH… Did you hear that?..
Ma-ma-kwa-se-sak (Memeguayiwahk)!!!
Hold onto your candy this Halloween because these little tricksters have a sweet tooth! 🍭🎃
The Ma-ma-kwa-se-sak, otherwise known as “Little People” according Métis folklore, are known to live near riverbanks, lakes, and beneath the rocks. They're said to love playing tricks and sneaking a sweet treat or shiny object whenever they get the chance.
So, if a few candies disappear from your Halloween haul, don't be too quick to blame your little brother or sister. It could be a mischievous Ma-ma-kwa-se-sak stopping by for a treat! 🍬
