Confused

edit

This article confuses Ojibwe and Abenaki mythologies. It gives Rabbit's name in each tradition then goes on to name his mother and father, but it is unclear which tradition these names come from. It then goes on to give two paragraphs that appear to be from an Ojibwe origin (but refers to "Jiibayaabooz/Mateguas" as if these are one and the same) before giving some Abenaki information. It would achieve greater clarity to divide it into distict articles, one for each name and tradition, with cross-referenced similarities and differences (supported by proper citations).

the mothers name is correct, it derives from the word for fat. nothing to do with the dakota name or whatever that person was talking about
