Volcano Woman’s tears turn into frogs, which she calls her children. She also wields power over the fires of the earth, and is reputed to have caused a volcanic eruption on the Nass River only a few hundred years ago. The lava flow destroyed a village of people that did not respect the lives of the creatures of the earth. They wasted food, and thoughtlessly killed frogs for amusement. Volcano Woman destroyed them all except one young woman who lived to bring us this story.
