Raven in Southeast
Mythology
The Tlingit and Haida home was the center of
evening Raven stories. Usually an old person, a grandfather, was the
source of the stories. The children listened carefully as the stories
went on for days, giving the different episodes of Raven in his
travels upon the world.
In Southeast Alaskan mythology, Raven is
mixed in most everything. You will find him appearing in one form or
the other. He was legendary, talented, full of magic, benefactor,
bringing good will or casting an evil spell. As such, he was greatly
respected. He also survived the great flood of ancient times; he
stuck his bill into the sky ceiling and hung there till the flood
receded. He took on human, bird, and animal forms and could change at
will. You could imagine then the many things he got mixed up in.
Although he had power, we find him hungry on many occasions. He was
always searching for food. His hunger usually caused his downfall,
but it was not long as he was right back for more
episodes.
In Southeast Alaska, Raven is used as a
phratry by one of the two opposite groups. The other is the Eagle.
That is why Raven is so prominent in Haida and Tlingit totems. A
person is either a Raven or Eagle. The clan crests come under these
two phratries. A person is born into a mother's phratry and takes his
mother's crest, and all legal rights come from the mother's
side.
