Ondinoc
For the Huron, Ondinoc represents the "hidden desires" and "deeply seated predispositions" by which "true health and fulfillment" are obtained. [1] Oki are contacted during dreams where they transfer Arendi, special powers of healing, war, and insight, to the dreamers.

Notes
Hidden desires are manifested in dreams, but these must be carefully interpreted, usually with help of a Arendiwane or master shaman. [2]
Recognition of Gonennoncwal and Ondinoc led to " health and well-being but the inhibition of that need could lead to illness and possibly death." [3]
