Date: 1888
Petroglyph tracings E: Human Figures #7. 4 negatives and 5 positives. Marion Robertson's Rock Drawings of the Micmac Indians interprets this petroglyph as Windblower. A vigorous drawing of Windblower who's exploits with wizards conjuring a mighty breeze delighted the Micmacs. It was he who drove back with his blowing the disgruntled suitors of the Little Thunder's bride, and he who saved the bride of the young man who married a girl with raven locks and skin as white as snow." See MG 15 Vol 14 E7 for the petroglyph that possibly represents Thunder.
