The Island of Scomalt

Here's an interesting story involving a mysterious island to the East of North America.  

Once, long ago, there was an old sorceress whose name was Scomalt.  She ruled justly over an island in the East, and all were at peace with each other, and with the other two islands of the world.  But eventually the people of Scomalt's island grew violent and lawless, and the peace of the island was shattered.  They turned the battle cries of war upon one another, and Scomalt was left with no choice but to destroy them.  She gathered her might and her strength, and pushed the people back until the sea was at their backs, and she was in front of them.  Then, driving her rod into the sand, broke off the piece of the island upon which they stood, and sent it away from her.  It drifted west and, caught in a great gale, dissolved.  Two of the people escaped on a canoe, and the rest perished.  The two that survived landed on the opposite shore of the Great Ocean, and there they settled.  The Okanagan people are descendants of these two.
