Book excerpt: These legends, translated by Chief Kenneth Harris, tell of the origin of the Native people who live in the region between the Skeena and Nass rivers of British Columbia. Other stories tell of occurrences particularly significant in the 'history' of the people -- the origins of the 'Killer Whale' and 'Thunderbird Twtjea-adku,' and the revenge of 'Medeek,' the great bear who rose from the lake to punish people for breaking 'the law.'
