A Story of
Raven
It is said a very long time ago Raven
used to eat people because they were so easy to trick.
One day, while flying over the arctic
coastline, Raven saw a small village. He was very hungry so he made a
plan to get food to eat. He flew low over the village screaming, "Your enemies
are coming! Your enemies are coming!"
All of the men ran out of their
igloos with their spears inhand and asked the great bird
what they should do.
Raven landed on top of a cache and
addressed the men, "You must surprise them before they reach your
village. Go and make camp at the foot of the cliff and wait for them
in the morning."
The unsuspecting men thanked Raven and set out
for the cliff's base to ambush the attackers
in the morning as he had said to do.
When they arrived that night they
built shelter at the foot of the steep cliff where Raven had told
them to go to. Later that night, after the men had discussed their
plans and strategies, their seal oil lamps were extinguished and they
all went to sleep.
When it was dark and the men were
asleep, Raven flew to the top of the cliff high above the small camp
and landed on an enormous overhang of heavy snow. Raven knew that the
great load of snow was ready to fall with only the slightest
encouragement, and so he proceeded to jump up an down on
it.
After a few jumps, the overhang
collapsed and avalanched down upon the sleeping men. They were
completely buried alive by the heavy snow load!
The snow was very deep, and because
Raven was lazy and didn't want to work to dig the dead men out so he
could eat them, he waited until spring when the snow melted. Then he
returned to eat them all.
Raven was very pleased that he would
have so much meat to eat. He especially liked to peck out the eyes of
the victims and then eat the eyeballs. For the entire spring he
stayed there at the bottom of the cliff gorging himself on the
warriors who had listened to his trickery and deceit.
