Tsul'kalu', The Slant-Eyed Giant
Briefly

The giant Tsul'kălû', meaning 'he has them slanting,' resides on Tanasee Bald Mountain and is the Great Lord of the Game, invisible but influential.
The story humorously places Tsul'kălû' in a small asi, a traditional Cherokee winter house, emphasizing the contrast of a giant in a confined space.
Cherokee lore, including Tsul'kălû', highlights the need for trust and adherence to instructions, reflecting a broader cultural lesson in responsibility.
Tsul'kălû' became invisible after the people broke trust with him, symbolizing a consequence of their actions and marking their relationship with the spirit.
