Edechewe

Edechewe (the Fisher-Man) is a folk hero of the Madesi, a Native American tribe of the Pit River region, located in what is now Northern California. Edechewe was born supernaturally from the cone of a sugar pine as the result of a magical rite performed by his father, Ahsoballache. He was nurtured in his infancy by his parents, after which his grandmother, To'kis, raised him.

Edechewe is a young, attractive man with smooth skin. From the time he was a toddler, Edechewe exhibited extraordinary hunting skills. Under the guidance of Annikadel, his adventures culminated in the completion of a mission to propel the Chools (personifications of the sun and moon) into the sky, along with their followers, the North Star and the South Star.
