The Thunder Bird.
1Rcv. NJ. Eells in Smitsonian Report

Among the strange links which
bind together the numerous tribes
of Western America is the myth
of the Thunder Bird. The gener-
al idea among the Indians is that
thunder is caused by an Immense
bird, whose size darkens the heav-
ems, whose body is the thunder
cloud, the Tapping Of whose wings
causes the thunder, and the bolts
of fire, which it sends cut Of its
mouth TO kill the whale for its
food are the lightning. The Ma
kahs and some other tribes, how
ever, invest the animal with a two
fold character, human and bird like.
According to them the being is
supposed to be gigantic Indian,
named in the dialects of the var
ious coast tribes Kakaitch, T'hln-
kluts, and Tu- tutsh, the latter be-
ing The Nootkan name. He lives
in the highest mountains and his
food consists of whales. When he
wants food he puts on a great gar
ment, which is made of birds
head, pair Of very large wings
and feather covering for his body,
and around his waist he ties the
lightning fish, which slightly re-
sembIes the sea horse. This ami
NAL has a head as sharp as knife
and red tongue which makes the
fire. He then flies forth, and
when he sees whale he darts the
lightning fish into its body, which
he then seiZes and carries to hi:
home. Occasionally, however, he
strikes tree and more seldom a
man.

THUNDER-BIRD PERFORMANCE.

Many of the Northwestern In
dams have performance in honor
of this thunder bird, which is
called the thunder bird perform
ance or "black tamshnous." 1t is
said to have originated with the
Nittinat Indians, according to the
following legend as recorded by
MIR. Swan: Two men had fallen
in love with the same woman, but
she would not give either the pref
erence; whereupon they began to
quarrel. But one of them, of more
sense than the other, said: "Do
not let US fight about that squaw

wolves and he will tell ME what is

were ready to eat him he jumped
