Unreferenced date August 2008 Kushtaka are myth ical creatures found in the stories of the Tlingit people Tlingit and Tsimshian Indians of Southeastern Alaska . Loosely translated, kushtaka means, land otter man . They are similar to the Nat ina of the Dan aina Indians of South Central Alaska, and the Urayuli of the Eskimos in Northern Alaska. Physically, kushtaka are Shapeshifting shape shifter s capable of assuming either human form or the form of an otter . In some accounts, a kushtaka is able to assume the form of any species of otter in others, only one. Accounts of their behaviour seem to conflict with one another. In some stories, kushtaka are cruel creatures who take delight in tricking poor Tlingit sailors to their deaths. In others, they are friendly and helpful, frequently saving the lost from death by freezing. In many stories, the kushtaka save the lost individual by distracting them with curiously otter like illusion s of their family and friends as they transform their subject into a fellow kushtaka, thus allowing him to survive in the cold. Naturally, this is counted a mixed blessing. However, kushtaka legends are not always pleasant. In some legends it is said the kushtaka will imitate the cries of a baby or the screams of a woman to lure victims to the river . Once there, the kushtaka either kills the person and tears them to shreds or will turn them into another kushtaka. Legends have it kushtaka can be warded off through copper, urine, and in some stories fire. Since the kushtaka mainly preys on small children, it has been thought by some that it was used by Tlingit mothers to keep their children from wandering close to the ocean by themselves. It is also said that the kushtaka emit a high pitched, three part whistle in the pattern of low high low. Kushtaka in modern literature Kushtaka s appear in Pamela Rae Huteson s Legends in Wood, Stories of the Totems in the legend War with the Land Otter Men , as well as Pamela Rae Huteson s Transformation ... more details

See also Category Northwest Coast Sprachbund North America The Pacific Northwest languages are the indigenous languages of the Pacific Northwest of North America . This is a geographic term and does not imply any common heritage for these languages. In fact, the Pacific Northwest is an area of exceptional linguistic diversity and contains languages belonging to a large number of apparently unrelated language family families . However, the close proximity of multiple languages has created many opportunities for mutual interaction, with the result that the Pacific Northwest forms a linguistic area , with many areal feature s that are shared across language families. These languages are well known for their complex phonetic systems, particularly their large number of dorsal consonant dorsal obstruent s. Tlingit language Tlingit , for example, has about 24 different stop consonant s and fricative s in the velar consonant velar , uvular consonant uvular , and glottal consonant glottal areas as well as five different lateral consonant lateral obstruent s . Also common are a number of other consonants that are unfamiliar to English speakers, such as pharyngeal consonant s and ejective consonant ejective s.
