Skunny-Wundy and the Stone Giant

via Norman Muller and Tommy Hudson:

I thought you might be interested in this. An Iroquois legend about a man that owns a hatchet that splits rock. It became magical after a stone giant used it. Are stones wedged between boulders symbolic of this? I found this while looking for an Iroquois legend about small, hairy creatures that go into the cracks of rocks. I will let you know what I find.

  1. Mention that the Iroqois are not a Algonquian.
