I am a member of the Cowichan Indian Band here on Vancouver Island BC. We have a legend in our ancient history of a "Wild Woman of the Woods" - named "Dzunuk’wa" -- and that's the other name that people refer to the ministry here... Because THIS is the legend of Dzunuk’wa...

Dzunuk’wa is a bringer of wealth but also feared by children as it is said that she may steal children away and eat them later. From Wikipedia “She is venerated as a bringer of wealth, but is also greatly feared by children, because she is also known as an ogress who steals children and carries them home in her basket to eat. Her appearance is that of a naked, black in colour, old monster with long pendulous breasts. She is also described as having bedraggled hair. In masks and totem pole images she is shown with bright red pursed lips because she is said to give off the call “Hu!” It is often told to children that the sound of the wind blowing through the cedar trees is actually the call of Dzunuḵ̓wa. Some myths say that she is able to bring herself back from the dead (an ability which she uses in some myths to revive her children) and regenerate any wound. She has limited eyesight, and can be easily avoided because she can barely see. She is also said to be rather drowsy and dim-witted. She possesses great wealth and will bestow it upon those who are able to get control of her child…”
