Calling the Chinook and the Indian medicine tale
A detailed Northwest legend recounts the Chinook wind and a Umatilla incident. Sokal the healer conjures the warm wind by feasting cattle and performing ritual fire eating, triggering a sudden thaw that saves the valley from deep snow while cattle are sacrificed for the feast. The account cites witnesses including William Barnhart, John McGean, and Tom, noting Sokal’s claims of a southern Weyekin and wireless guidance. The piece ends with a brief digression on medicine regulation and Ely’s Cream Balm.
