catastrophe, oral tradition..
Later
There is evidence that Vancouver Island moved into its current position over many thousands of years.
1828: According to research by Lawrence Buchner, a severe earthquake occured in Siskiyou County (Northern CA.) According to “Old Man Ruffy”, a Karok Indian who died in 1930 at the age of 110-115 years, “The ground went this way and that way. Mountains fell down. Trees fell down, and many big ponds of water (lakes) were formed high up in the mountains. Many Indians were killed at that time, because Indians in those days lived in holes in the ground (caves and tunnels) and the mountains fell down and buried them.” ) Etna - from Mule Train to ‘Copter; Eschscholtzia Parlor No. 112 - Native Daughters of the Golden West; Etna, CA; c 1965.

The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes:
Flood, Fire, and Famine
in the History of Civilization
by Richard Firestone,
Allen West, and
Simon Warwick-Smith
A struggle ensued first in the water, the tribal tale says. "The waters receded and rose again. Many canoes came down in trees and were destroyed and numerous lives were lost."
The Thunderbird eventually succeeds in lifting the evil Whale out of the ocean, carrying it "high into the air (and then) dropping it to the land surface at Beaver prairie. Then at this place there was another great battle."
...Whale had a son, Subbus, who took Thunderbird several more days to locate and kill. The earth-rumbling struggle persisted, but eventually Subbus was subdued.
ET battle, obviously. The Leftist Whales travelled in USOs, manipulating the flow of fish and animals along the coast to reward or punish the natives depending upon whether they served them properly. The Rightwing Thunderbird UFOs travelled in the sky, saw this lockdown, and attacked.
Due the the massive force fields and energy weapons used by these vehicles as they grappled together in their antigravity bubbles and bounced up and down upon the ocean, tidal waves and earthquakes were generated. After the Leftist USO was destroyed on the ground, some escape pod ran for it, and it took a while longer to get them all, which is why the pounding continued for awhile.
Simple.
Interesting post - thanks! Many of the “backward” natives in the Indian Ocean tsunami also survived because of their stories - stories that were not known, or forgotten by the city-folks.
There is an Indian “legend” in Southeast Alaska that tells the story of the Ice king invading the land because the people did not send him a princess to marry. And the people were forced to flee to the south. Hundreds of years later a princess was found for him, and they were allowed to move back to their native territory. They think now that it records the glacial expansion into their valley and then retreat from hundreds of years ago.
The tales were dissmissed because they were weird. Only by reverse engineering do they make sense.
Thanks for the ping(s) Civ.

Perhaps they will take their open-mindedness they give to the Indian stories and turn it onto the real history of mankind narrated into the Bible.
My pleasure, how are you doing?
the problem with folklore is that there’s no actual date, or often even some relative reference (such as, it happened such-and-such a year of the reign of some ruler; or, it was in the time of your great-grandfather). This isn’t surprising since many, many people don’t use a year count of any kind, merely keeping track of the annual calendar for purposes of planting and whatnot.
