One day Kamookumpts was resting on the eastshore of Tule Lake. Looking around he realized that there was nothing anywhere except the lake. He decided to make land. He dug some mud from the lake bottom and made a hill. He used the mud from this hill to create land and mountains. He also created rivers, streams, plants and animals. Creating everything was tiring work, so Kamookumpts dug a hole in which to sleep under Tule Lake. He left the hill he had made to mark the spot. As the mud dried the hill became rock and is visible today as Petroglyph Point.
