It is said that Glooscap ordered that a pair of moccasins be made for him by one of his "lady vassals." They were to be made by chewing on doeskin. The lady put this task off in order to make herself a new cap from beaver fur and dyed quills. When it was made, she loved it so much that she spent her time finding unfrozen ponds in which she could see a reflection of herself wearing the new cap. When Glooscap called for his new moccasins, the lady had not finished them. Glooscap was so angry that he took the new cap and threw it into the bay. It later drifted back onto the shore and when spring came, the cap put down roots. The beaver fur became moss and the quills transformed into tall fir trees. The formation became known as Squaw's Cap.
