Thunderbird is a legendary creature possessing great power and strength. It creates thunder by flapping its wings and shoots lightning from its eyes. Modern day sightings of large birds could mean Thunderbird is real or perhaps that prehistoric birds survived and exist today. In this episode of Red Earth Uncovered, Dr. Donald Henderson, Curator of Dinosaurs at the Royal Tyrrell Museum discusses these large predatory birds that may have existed at one time and how these birds may have become legends. Host Shayla Lightstone also talks to Paul and Ian Sam of the Tsartlip First Nation who grew up with the teachings of the spirit Thunderbird, known as protectors of their territory.
