The raven is a significant figure in Northwest Coast mythology having played an important part in the making of the world.  Raven lived in the land of spirits when the world was a watery darkness.  He was bored so he journeyed for years contributing to the creation of the world we live in.  Raven brought light to the world. He discovered and freed the first men and women and placed them on the earth.  Raven stole salmon from the Beaver People and deposited them in the streams and rivers up and down the coast to provide food for the People.
