Comments: The Tlingit Mythology Story of Keet
Naatslanei was a great hunter and respected in his village. Naatslanei liked to hunt and fish with his three brothers-in-law. The three brothers were jealous of Naatslanei and left him on a reef at low tide to drown when the tide covered the reef. The youngest brother didn't want to leave him, but he couldn't help. A loon appeared and took Naatslanei to a secret world inside the reef. Here were people like him who put him in a bubble and he drifted to shore. Naatslanei's wife was contacted and told to bring his tools to him secretly. He carved a mean looking monster which he called "Keet". The first one did not swim - but after carving the second one of yellow cedar, it began to swim.
"I have created you to avenge a wrong-doing. Three men will be in a canoe. Dispose of the two bad ones but don't harm the youngest."
The killerwhale eliminated the two brothers and swam back to shore. Naatslanei then ordered the killerwhale to never harm man again and let Keet go.
