There are several variations in Native traditions about the Thunderbird. When the cry of the Thunderbird was heard (in the form of thunder in the skies) war huts were constructed to begin ceremonial processions. War dances by the Iroquois and Shawnee must be performed to exact precision in order to appease the rousted Thunderbird and insure victory in battle.
Other, more peace-keeping tribes viewed the Thunderbird as supreme Nature Spirit and a solar animal. Another Native tale indicates lightning jetting out of the eyes of the Thunderbird when angered (during storms), and deafening cracks of thunder were produced when it flapped its mighty wings.

Please Contact me with any questions or if you prefer a different cord length,

Bolo cord length really depends on personal preference. Most common are the 36 inch and 38 inch lengths. Cord length is usually preferred to end about 3 to 4 inches below the base of the sternum (breastbone). In general, individuals under 6 feet tall with an average build choose cords of 36″ to 38″ in length; taller individuals or those with larger body builds usually want cords of 40 to 42 inches long.
If you are unsure, use a measuring tape or piece of string to determine the length you think looks best for you. I can accommodate requests for leather cords longer than 42″ for individuals who want them. Use the “drop down” menus or the “notes to seller” to select your desired length.
