Wisakedjak (sometimes Anglicized as Whiskey Jack) was a trickster god in Cree mythology who is generally portrayed as being responsible for a great flood which destroys the world originally made by the Creator, as well as the one who creates the current world with magic, either on his own or with powers given to him by the Creator for that specific purpose.

Wisakedjak is featured in the book American Gods by Neil Gaiman. [citation needed] Gaiman, Neil. American Gods.New York, New York: Harper Torch; 2001. pg.358
