[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

The Clackamas indian tribe (in the northwest area of Oregon) venerated
the Willamette iron meteorite. They called it "Tomanowos", which means
"Visitor from the Moon". Before major battles, the warriors would wash
their faces and dip their arrows in the rainwater that collected in
the hollows of the meteorite!
