The Tribe of the Tomahawk Toot-Toot

Tribe
of the
Tomahawk Toot-Toot
(from a scroll found in a bottle on Cape Fear, North Carolina)

Along the shores of the barrier islands of North Carolina, in the scrub and swamps of the backwaters of Cape Fear, there dwelled a small band of aboriginals known as

The Tribe of the Tomahawk Toot-Toot

The tribe was named after a set of magical power sticks, passed down through the generations, invoked in battles, used to bestow blessings, and honored in ceremonies.

Only Seven Are Known to Have Survived

The seven remaining sticks are treasured relics and bear the ceremonial names the Toot-Toots have given them.

The Four Sons

• The North
• The South
• The East
• The West

The North and South are tied with Red.
The East and West are blond.
A marking near the toot action airsplitter
indicates the direction of the magic stick.

The Ancestors

• The Mother
• The Father

These magic sticks retain the wider Axe Blade of the Toot-Toot Tomahawk. Tied in golden thread, they represent the male & female faces of energy flows -- the ying & yang, salt'n'peppa, you know.

You can tell the Father apart because his finger holes point away from the Axe Blade.

There is one more Tomahawk Toot-Toot, prized above all others and long missing:

• The Sorcerer's Stick

It is said the Blade is tied with fire. It makes a sound so beautiful the Pelicans fly mandalas when they hear it.

In the old days, the remaining members of The Tribe of the Tomahawk Toot-Toot would gather on the shores of Tomahawk Island and celebrate their ancestors by reenacting the feared nightly parade of the Toot-Toots, hoot-tootin' it and hot-footin' it down the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and resonatin' down Cape Fear with their doo-woppin' scattinany hijinx, taking the stars out of the sky, kicking them all over the beach, telling stories, walking backwards, and conjurin' up mermaids and other mayhem from them
