This legend passed down from Potawanmi Indian Lure says that there was a forrest fire in Wisconsin and a mother Bear and her two cubs took to Lake Michigan to escape the flames. As they got close to shore on the Michigan side the two cubs could not swim any further and both sank below the waves. Their bodies became the Manitou Islands.
