Legend of Queneesh '95

"Long ago there were big cedar planked houses, totem poles and canoes in the Comox Valley. The nights were very quiet except for sounds of sea birds, water and owls hooting.

One night an old man, Quoi Qwa Lak, had a dream. A voice told him that he must tell the Chief and the Comox people to prepare for a great flood.

The Chief callled his people together to tell them to prepare for the flood. They built canoes and packed them with food and clothes.

The young men took a strong cedar rope to the top of the glacier and tied the rope at the top. The people tied their canoes to the rope.

It kept raining and raining until little of the glacier was above water. The people were afraid.

All of a sudden the glacier began to move and the people cired "White Whale! White Whale! Queneesh! Queneesh!" The glacier had taken the form of a whale.

The people were saved. The rain stopped and Queneesh still stands guard over the Comox People.

For traditional designing, the whale is done in black formlines. His white back represents the glacier. -- CH
