Description
A Tsonoqua, or basket ogress, is a giant woman who collects children to eat in her basket. She has bad eyes, though, and isn't very smart, so in the stories the children usually outwit her and get away. As she hunts for children, she purses her lips and makes a whispering sound. She is common in stories in the Northwest Pacific tribes, like the Salish. Ink and watercolor pencil
