Before phrases like: \"not the brightest bulb\", \"a few cards short of a deck\", or even just \"bird brain\"... there was \"Klotatkwaetae\".
When an aging chief begins searching for his successor, his son seems an obvious choice.
Unfortunately, that is until his son begins to demonstrate a truly remarkable lack of judgment.
In an effort to test the young man's abilities, the chief gives him a challenge: find a wife.
The results are not encouraging.
On today's episode of Of Cedar And Salmon, Long Claw shares this humorous Coast Salish story of wisdom, leadership, and the consequences of seeing what you want to see instead of what is truly there.
A legend that leaves our chief between a rock and a hard place.
So, what's the worst date you've ever been on?
