Wee-kin

spirit · Canada · North America

Not independently attested in any recorded Canadian First Nations tradition. No tribal account or published source describes a spirit named Wee-kin, and the name appears to be invented or garbled. It may be a corruption of weyekin, the personal guardian spirit of the Nez Perce, or a generic Canadian entry; either way, no such being is documented in the folklore of Canada.
