Ke'-lok the North Giant is a man-eating being of the Miwok myth-age whose home lay at Tah-lah'-wit, the north. In Merriam's Sacramento-river cycle he is described as Wek'-wek's elder kinsman; the two fight a great contest at the giant's roundhouse, and when Wek'-wek finally kills him by striking his one vulnerable spot, Ke'-lok's burning body sets the whole world aflame — the Miwok account of the world fire.
