Iroquois · deity · sky woman cosmogony · deity

The flinty, destructive twin (Flint, the Evil Mind) of the Haudenosaunee creation. His violent birth killed his mother; he answers his brother's good creation with hardship — rapids, frost, winter and monsters — and is overcome in their final contest, after which he rules the cold half of the year.
