In Krasheninnikov's account of the Kamchadal faith, Tyzhil-Kutkhu is the son born to the creator Kutkhu and his wife Il'kkhum after the family settled on Kamchatka. When Kutkhu left the peninsula, Tyzhil-Kutkhu married his sister Siduka and remained as master of the land: he created the land animals and appointed the cloud-dweller Pilyachuch (Bilyukai) their herdsman, made clothing from their skins, and, after living at first on bark, invented boats and nettle-fibre fishing nets, teaching his son Amleia to fish. Krasheninnikov stresses that the Kamchadals therefore honoured Tyzhil-Kutkhu rather than Kutkhu, celebrating him at their November festival; through Amleia and the daughter Sidukamshich his line was held to be the source of the peoples of Kamchatka.
