The Thunder Chief is a personification of the ultimate power. An ancient Blackfeet story speaks of his marriage to an earth woman and their subsequent separation, reconciliation, and final separation. (No kids were involved...) The Thunder Medicine Pipe came to our people at this time. If Thunderman gets his own TV series, the theme song is ready.

Who is the greatest skyland Chief?
Who travels far and wide?
Who wears a silver headdress wreath?
Now you can decide.

Who has the biggest drum to strike?
Causing clouds to weep.
Who is the warrior of the storm,
Intruding on your sleep?
Intruding on your sleep.

He’ll blow down your lodge,
This moody uncaused cause.
The arrows that he throws, be sure to dodge
He’s over there and here
He cycles gray and clear
He’s Thunderman of every hemisphere.

If you don’t think he’s real
How would lightning feel?
His voice alone’s enough to make you squeal
He’s over there and here
He cycles gray and clear
He’s Thunderman of every hemisphere

He blows down your lodge,
This moody uncaused cause.
The arrows that he throws, be sure to dodge
He’s over there and here
He cycles gray and clear
He’s Thunderman of every hemisphere.

He’s Thunder.
It’s a wonder man,

He’s Thunderman of our atmosphere.
