According to the beliefs of the Iroquois, there was an evil being whom they called Great Head, an enormous head posed on slender legs that lived on a rugged rock. In a distant spot, lived ten orphaned biys and their uncle. One day, the boys who went hunting did not return. One of the brothers still at home went to search and did not return. The uncle and a nephew then went and heard a groan. It was a magician and brother of Great Head. With the helpof the magician and Great Head, the uncle and boys killed the witch who had eaten the other boys and put them back together. This 1917 illustration shows Great Head twlling two Native americans climbing his rock that it sees them and so they will die.
