Master of hoofed animals, this nukatem gave hunters permission to kill the animals he protected, especially deer. He often took the shape of a white deer. After killing a deer or other hoofed animals, the hunter would hold up the skin to his mouth and yell "HE! HE! HE!" and then puff his breath to the north.
