Mistapew (Plains Cree mistâpêw, ᒥᐢᑖᐯᐤ, [ˈmɪs.tɑːˌpeːw], plural mistâpêwak) or (using the spelling system of Franz Boas) Mista´peo, also Mištapew, Mishtapew, is a spirit-being found widely in cultures across the Algonquinian Cree-Montagnais-Naskapi language continuum. Evidence for beliefs about Mistapew before Indigenous cultures were profoundly affected by Euro-Canadian colonial cultures is patchy.
