Lore
Raven is a central trickster-creator in Northwest Coast Native American (Haida, Tlingit) lore, a clever bird who stole the sun from a greedy chief, releasing it from a box to light the world and bring day. He also released stars, moon, and daylight, shaping the cosmos with his mischief. Raven's transformations and pranks teach lessons about ingenuity, greed, and balance. Revered as a culture hero, he embodies creativity and chaos, reminding people that even trickery can lead to good outcomes in indigenous oral traditions.
