The Thunderbird is one of the most wide-spread of Native American legends. It lived in a cedar forest at the western end of the world. It created thunderstorms which brought life-giving water. They could shoot lightning from its eyes and its wings were so enormous that they created peals of thunder when they flapped. Because of its energy and loudness, the Thunderbird is also associated with war. The eagle, bird of the Sun, is considered to be a representation of the Thunderbird in the earthly realm.
