In this electrifying episode, we delve into the mysterious world of the Thunderbird, a legendary creature that looms large in North American Indigenous folklore. Known for its gigantic wings and supernatural powers, the Thunderbird is said to conjure thunder with each flap of its wings and hurl lightning bolts to maintain the cosmic balance between the earth and the skies.
