A Passamaquoddy story · Maine and New Brunswick · 2:07

A still from the film Glooskap and the Wind Bird
Coming to YouTube soon

Far in the north, a great white bird sits on a rock at the end of the sky, and every beat of his wings makes the wind. When storms keep everyone ashore, Glooskap binds the bird's wings, but the calm that follows leaves the waters still and thick. So he frees one wing, and the winds have been gentler ever since.
