Summary[edit]

Description
Dansk: En malet facade på et hus ved Alert Bay, stillehavskysten, der illustrerer en af kwakiutl indianernes myter. Tordenfuglen bliver lokket til at fange en attrap af en hval, hugget ud af en træstamme af en ravn, hvis søn var fanget af tordenfuglen. Da attrappen er dækket med klæbrig harpiks hænger tordenfuglen fast i den, så andre dyr kan dræbe monsterfuglen.
