"This box depicts the Haisla story of Weegit discovering the Halibut hook. As he is flying over the ocean, he sees a house floating on the water. Inside is a man named Kwaganoo and he is fishing for halibut. Weegit poses as his brother and tells him that their father has passed away and convinces Kwaganoo to fly over the ocean to go see him. As they are flying, Weegit turns upside down and Kwaganoo almost falls off. The fisherman says "Don't do that again Weegit!". As Kwaganoo relaxes his grip, Weegit turns upside down again and Kwaganoo falls and lands in the ocean. Weegit flies back to the house and sees a hole in the floor with a long line going into the water. He starts pulling the line in and feels something heavy on the other end. Weegit looks into the hole to see his catch and suddenly an arm reaches out and grabs Weegit. Kwaganoo pulls him into the water and almost drowns him! Kwaganoo then kicks Weegit out of his house and tells him to never come back! Weegit flies back home and copies the halibut hooks for himself". -Nathan Wilson
