The Message from
Raven
Long ago there lived a man, his wife,
and two children, a little boy and a little girl. They lived by
themselves somewhere in the wilderness of Alaska. One day the husband
decided to go hunting in the hills that weren't far from where he and
his family lived. He left telling his wife that he would return the
next day.
The next day came, and when he didn't
show up his wife started to get worried because it was going to get
dark soon. She and her two kids waited and waited for him to come but
he never showed up. She didn't have any idea that her husband was out
in the hills living with two other women.
The man didn't know a raven was
spying on his every move. And it was the raven who flew back to his
wife and told her that her husband was messing around somewhere in
the hills with two other women. After hearing about this she was very
angry and she got ready to go out looking for him.
She left the two kids in the house
and got a black bear skin for warmth because it was a little chilly
outside. The raven guided her to the cabin where her husband was.
Before she went inside she tried to take off the bear skin but for
some reason it could not come off her body. Then she noticed she had
turned into a black bear. She was surprised but still remembered the
selfish act her husband had committed behind her back. She became so
enraged she knocked down the door of the cabin and caught her husband
messing around with those two pretty women. She let out a big roar
and mauled her husband and the two women to death. After she had done
this she tore down the cabin that her husband was in, then started
heading back to her two kids that she had left alone. When she got
there she was still dressed as a bear and her kids didn't recognize
her and they started crying in fear. She blew her bear breath on the
boy and he turned into a mink. Then she blew on the little girl,
turning her into a white weasel. After that they each ran off into
the wild and joined their own kind.
