The Witch Tree as it is commonly known, also called Manidoo-giizhikens, or Little Cedar Spirit Tree by the Ojibwe First Nation tribe is an ancient Thuja occidentalis (Eastern White Cedar) growing on the shore of Lake Superior in Cook County, Minnesota. The earliest written records of the tree by Europeans in the Americas are by French explorer Sieur de la Verendrye in 1731, who commented on the tree as a mature tree at that time, making it over 300 years old. The tree is held sacred by the Ojibwe, who traditionally leave offerings of tobacco to ensure a safe journey on Lake Superior. Due to its sacred nature and vandalism problems in the past, the tree is considered off limits to visitors unless accompanied by a local Ojibwe band member.

  • De Witch Tree, Manidoo-giizhikens of Spirit Little Cedar Tree is een meer dan 300 jaar oude boom van de soort westerse levensboom (Thuja occidentalis) aan de noordwestelijke oever van Lake Superior in de Amerikaanse staat Minnesota. De boom groeit op een rots ten oosten van het gehucht (Cook County). Hoewel de Witch Tree volwassen is, betreft het een kleine, kronkelige boom. De Witch Tree wordt in de notities uit 1731 van de Franse ontdekkingsreiziger Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Vérendrye al als volwassen boom vermeld. (nl)

Due to its sacred nature and vandalism problems in the past, the tree is considered off limits to visitors unless accompanied by a local Ojibwe band member. The tree is small for a mature conifer, as it is growing out of bare rock on the shoreline. Its gnarled, stunted, and twisting branches have been the subject of many photographs. (en)
  • De Witch Tree, Manidoo-giizhikens of Spirit Little Cedar Tree is een meer dan 300 jaar oude boom van de soort westerse levensboom (Thuja occidentalis) aan de noordwestelijke oever van Lake Superior in de Amerikaanse staat Minnesota. De boom groeit op een rots ten oosten van het gehucht (Cook County). Hoewel de Witch Tree volwassen is, betreft het een kleine, kronkelige boom. De inheemse bewoners van de streek, de Ojibwegindianen, beschouwen de boom als heilig. Ze offeren er traditioneel tabaksbladeren voor een goede reis op Lake Superior. Om het vandaliseren van de boom een halt toe te roepen, is het bezoeken ervan uitsluitend nog toegestaan in het bijzijn van een stamlid van de Ojibweg, die sinds 1987 eigenaar zijn van de grond. De Witch Tree wordt in de notities uit 1731 van de Franse ontdekkingsreiziger Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Vérendrye al als volwassen boom vermeld. (nl)
