Gudatrigakvitl

Gudatrigakwitl is the name of the creator god of the Wiyote Indians (also called Wishok ), who live in central California . According to tradition, he first created a boat, then people, to whom he then gave bows and arrows. He did all this without any means other than the mere force of his desire, by clasping his hands and spreading them again.
