Indian and two crows
In the myths of the North American Indians, (tribes that lived in the foresteastern coast, north-western coastal ones), the raven often plays the role of a
creative supernatural, trickster (sly), cultural hero and demiurge, in contrast to
the European interpretation of the raven as a symbol. He is the hero of many
fairy tales. For example, in the myths of the Tlingat Indians, the raven is a
sunny, creative, educated bird; among the Navajo Indians, the raven is the
Black God, a participant in all events in the animal world.
