copper canoe legends

[Linda Fink]

Well, these are fascinating! I've never heard either of the legends
mentioned so far. The one I heard is a Nootka legend. Long ago, from the
waters of Whulge, a man came to the Nootkas in a copper canoe, bright as the
sun. His paddles were also copper. Men said he came from the sky to teach
them not to fight. At first the Nootkas listened, then they became angry and
killed him. They were sorry after they killed him. Therefore they carve
images of him for their houses, even to this day. Anyone know anything about
these images or this story?

Please keep the stories coming! Hyash mahsie.
