Witnesses to the encounter were Ruth and Jake Lowe, who responded to their son’s cries in time to witness the flight. This came to be such a problem, that the Yaqui people feared even having fiestas and ceremonial dances for fear that the bird would swoop down and carry one of them off. The Yaqui tribe tells a different story in the tale of the “Otam Kawi.” In their tales, a giant bird lived in the hills of Otam Kawi and would periodically fly out in search of food, carrying away men, women, and children.
No one ever sees the Thunderbird whole, not even in a vision, so the way we think a Thunderbird looks is pieced together from many dreams and visions,” said Brule Medicine Man John “Fire” Lame Deer in 1969, according to CSI. “From time to time a holy man catches a glimpse of a Wakinyan in his dreams, but always only a part of it.

The Sioux Nation, particularly, the Brule Sioux tribe of southwest South Dakota on the Rosebud Reservation, has a thunder bird legend known as “Wakinyan Tanka,” or the “Great Thunderbird,” according to the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI). The legend of the Thunderbird is present throughout the American Midwest and has many incarnations among the Native American tribes that once lived and continue to live throughout this land. This creature has been reported throughout the Midwest and a particular case in Illinois included a dangerously close encounter. Perhaps the most elusive and legendary among America’s mythical creatures is the thunderbird, a giant eagle-like bird with incredible strength.
