In my last post I said I would talk about killer whale folklore and I think have found the right one for you guys, the legend I chose comes from the Haida people. The Haida legend is called "Wolf and the Sea", as you can imagine from the title wolves do play a role in the story okay lets skip the details and go to the story. One day a man found two wolf pups on the beach he took them home and raised them when the pups had grown, they would swim out into the ocean and kill a whale. They would take the dead whale and bring it to shore for the man to eat, they did this every day which eventually led to a waste of food and horrid smells. Then the great above person saw the waste and became angered so it decided to create a fog stranding the wolves in the sea forever however, the wolves begin to change they become Killer whales. I hope you liked this legend as much as I did you see I liked this myth because, it gave multiple references to wolves and their relation to the killer whales and a theme of how over hunting can lead to great change and problems. Well goodbye and come back next time.
