The Ledgend of Mt. Ts'yl-os (also known as Mt. Tatlow).

In the days of old there was a native man and wife who couldn't get along. One day she finally kicked him out and when he left their home he took three of their six children. The man and his children walked for a while and then sat down by Xeni Lake, where they turned into stone (Mt. Ts'yl-os). His wife and the other three children also turned into stone, on the other side of Tatlayoko Lake. The legend says never point your finger at Mt. Ts'yl-os or he will make it rain or snow on you.
