My sister-in-law was a teacher up in the Indian reservation of Split Lake, Manitoba for a time.
Their story around the northern lights simply defines them as a 'soccer game' being played by the spirits.
According to the legend, if you whistle while watching them, the lights will assume that you wish to be part of the fun and come down to scoop you up and carry you off into the spirit world to join in. However if you change your mind, before this happens you can clap your hands and they will realise you are just an enthusiastic spectator and leave you be.
