More stories and legends about the Thunderbird. l love the phrase: “Their wings beat thunder, their eyes flash lightning,” from a Discovery documentary of years ago.

Legend of the Giant Bird   Leave a comment

http://sped2work.tripod.com/giantbird.html

A touching legend about the birds that “brought thunder on their wings and shot lightning from their eyes” and also an article that describes how the great herds of buffalo disappeared in a bit more than 350 years and includes a picture of the proud hunters and a mountain of buffalo skulls, showing how powerful and capable of taming the land man is. Of course later man is making big efforts to save the species they’ve driven to near extinction. There’s still a lot of lessons we humans have to learn.
