They say this being is possessed of superhuman powers: indeed he is deemed so powerful, as to be able to take the thunder in his hand and cast it to the ground.

He dresses in many colors, and wears a forked hat.

One side of his face is red, the other blue, his eyes are also of different colors.

He always carries a bow and arrow in his hand, but never has occasion to use it, as one look will kill the animal he wants.
They sing songs to this giant, and once in a long time dance in honor of him; but so severe is the latter custom, that it is rarely performed.
The following incident will show how great is their reverence for this singular being.

An Indian made a vapor bath, and placed inside of it a rude image of the giant, made of birch bark.
