The thunderbird's name comes from the common belief that the beating of its enormous wings causes thunder and stirs the wind.

The Menomini of Northern Minnesota say that the Thunderbirds control the rain and hail and delight in fighting and deeds of greatness.

They are the enemies of the great horned snakes - the Misikinubik - and have prevented these from overrunning the earth and devouring mankind.
