We spent a couple of days in Vancouver, BC & spent some time in the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. It's packed with amazing specimens from all over the world, but especially West Coast Indians. Here's my favorite character. She's enough to keep any child in line.

In Kwakwaka’wakw mythology Dzunukwa (also Tsonoqua) is the “wild woman of the forest”. She is venerated as a bringer of wealth, but is also greatly feared by children, because she is also known as an ogress who steals children and carries them home in her basket to eat.
