Dzunukwa

Her appearance is that of a naked old monster, black in colour, with long pendulous breasts.

[2] In masks and totem pole images she is shown with bright red pursed lips[3] because she is said to give the call "Hu!"

It is often told to children that the sound of the wind blowing through the cedar trees is actually the call of Dzunuḵ̓wa.

She possesses great wealth and will bestow it upon those who are able to get control of her child.

At the end of a Kwakwaka'wakw potlatch ceremony, the host chief comes out bearing a mask of Dzunuḵ̓wa which is called the geekumhl.
