Raven is one of the most important figures in the oral traditions of the Northwest Coast. As a cultural hero, a transformer, and a trickster, his adventures at the beginning of time brought the world as we know it now into existence. It was Raven who placed the sun, moon and stars in the sky after stealing them from a supernatural chief. Raven also discovered the first humans and released them into the world.
The story of how Raven brought light to the world is perhaps the most universal story told on the Northwest Coast. It takes place in a time when the world was in darkness, and begins with a powerful chief who owned a box containing a large, luminous ball. Raven wanted this ball and so he made a plan to procure it.
