• Summary:Txamsm is the Tsimshian transformer and trickster character. There are many tales of Txamsm: some are origin stories; others are tales of his voraciousness, greed and foolishness; still others tell of his travels. In this adventure, Txamsm tries very hard to be a good host, but he bungles it. Chief Kingfisher treats him to a wonderful feast using magic, but when Txamsm attempts to copy him, he fails.
