"There is a Tlingit legend about a sea monster named Gunakadeit (Goo-na'-ka-date) who brought prosperity and good luck to a village in crisis, people starving in the home they made for themselves on the southeastern coast of Alaska." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_monster

"Gunakadeit Yadi represents the legend of the Daughters of the Creek.This legend states that Gunakadeit's daughters became the Old Women who lived at the head of every stream and are responsible for the yearly return of the salmon."
