History

The name "Gaasyendietha" was offered by native people to French explorer Jacques Cartier when he inquired about a creature briefly sighted by him and his crew in the St. Lawrence River. They described the creature as "a giant finned snake" that moved like a caterpillar.

Symbol

Some argue that Gaasyendietha is the product of meteors; others claim that this is a meteor-fire dragon.
