Aayaase (also known as áÂÂá¾á®á¦áÂÂ¥ (Aayaash; unpointed as áÂÂá¾áÂÂáÂÂ¥) or Iyash; recorded by William Jones as ÃÂyÃÂsä) is a character found in the Aadizookaan of the Anishinaabe peoples. Similar in nature to the Ojibwa Nanabozho stories, the Aayaash stories tell of his trials and tribulations, with each story carrying a moral.
