it possible," continued the Chief, "that you could help us in our
need?" for he saw this was some great Being in the form of a Bird.
"That is the very reason why I have come from above," replied
Kwunusela, the Thunderbird, for that was his name. He then seized
the log in his immense talons and raised it with no effort, plac-

ing it exactly on the two posts already in place to support its
weight.

Then he told them other things about building a house, and
while the people stood around and the Chief thanked him they now
knew he must be the Thunderbird of whom their grandfathers had
told them. Kwunusela then bade them farewell, saying: "You will
always have a friend in me to watch over you." \Then the grateful
Chief and the people rolled a great stone to the spot where the
Thunderbird had stood, and named their village "The place where
Kwunusela alighted," and so it is called to this day.
