Long time ago there was a tribe called the Menmantauk people. Their name means stone heads. These people were responsible for killing all the Lekwammen men and taking all the females as slaves. One lady they took as a slave was Qeseq's mother. She had been captured while she was pregnant. When she gave birth to her son, she knew the Menmantauk would kill him if they saw he was a boy. She took a string and she tied his penis and pulled it under so the Menmantauk wouldn't notice he was a boy.

Qeseq's mother did her best at hiding her son's true sexual identity and she bathed him at night while everyone was still sleeping. She realized that night would be a good time to get away from the Menmantauk so she took herself and Qeseq to a spot where she knew they would not find her. She made a hut out of tree bark. The boy grew up fast and began to walk at an early age. So she fashioned a bow and arrow for him and he became a good hunter. He would hunt birds and keep their feathers so he could make a cape. One day he really wanted to catch an eagle for his capes o he found a clearing in the grass field and he covered himself up with grass and spread his arms out. Not much time had passed and an eagle came down and he grabbed it and killed it and added its feathers to his cape.

One day Qeseq went close to the ocean and saw these people who were playing and laughing and having fun. When he got home he asked his mother who those people were, down at the sea. Qeseq's mother would never answer and she would change the subject all the time. Qeseq would not give up on trying to find out about those people down at the sea. Qeseq was determined to find out so he would not give his mother a rest. One day she had enough of his persistence and finally gave in and told him about those people and why he couldn't go be with them. Qeseq's mother told him that those people are the Menmantauk and their heads are made of stone. The Menmantauk had killed his father, grandfather and all of his uncles and male cousins. The Menamantauk had all of his aunties and his female cousins and fellow female tribe villagers.

When Qeseq heard what his mother had told him he wanted to get revenge on these people. So Qeseq went into the woods to find a good wood to use as a club. He found an Oak tree and fashioned a club from it and struck a boulder with it and the club shattered. Qeseq tried all kinds of wood and they all broke except for this last one he made out of Yew wood. When Qeseq found the right wood he made a club out of it and he went and put his cape of feathers on and he continued down to the sea where he had seen them before.

When Qeseq got to the sea the Menmantauk children and mothers had seen him and got so frightened they ran for their lives because he looked like a supernatural being. They ran to the men and informed them of a bird feathered caped intruder. The Menmantauk men ran to the sea and Qeseq's cape did have supernatural power because the men could not see him. So one by one he killed all of the Menmantauk men and then he freed his relatives and fellow villagers. Qeseq went back to his mother with all of the people he had freed and he told his mother now all of this land belongs to us and we shall live happy and forever.
