WAUKHEON
Sioux (Dakota) Storm fabulous creature
Also known as Thunder-Bird, Thunderbird, Wakinyan
Shockingly Powerful Bird Spirit
The Thunder Bird, or birds, depending who you ask. A nature spirit of great importance.
The flapping of Waukheon on his way to war makes the sky shake with thunder — and when he glances down to earth, lightning hits the ground.
Waukheon constantly battles with Untunktahe the Water God. Will they ever settle for a draw?
Images of Waukheon are famously found sitting on the top of Totem Poles. As powerful symbols of nature, war, strength and victory, it’s no wonder every tribe has a Thunder Bird to look over them. Thunder Gods are go!
