Raven

The Raven is the most important being in the Northwest Coast art and mythology. In stories, Raven is intelligent, curious, innovative and resourceful, yet selfish, greedy, deceitful and mischievous. He always follows his appetite, and consequently is often in trouble: in fact, that is when he does some of his best creative work. Among many other achievements, Raven determined the order of things in the world, as we know it; secured the blessings of Fire, water, Sun, Moon, stars; and discovered humankind and all other creatures. He is the original organizer. He is also known to be a relentless schemer and practical joker, lustful, impulsive, and cunning.
