Raven Finds Light 3D Art
All the Native groups in Alaska have rich folklore, myths, and children’s stories about Raven. Known for his cleverness and trickster ways, Raven often found himself both outsmarting and being outsmarted by other animals. One tale even tells of his encounter with a man who emerged from a pea pod. Raven believed he was the smartest being in the world until he met an old woman.
In the beginning, the earth was shrouded in darkness, with only the oil lamps in their dwellings providing light. Raven, who originally had white feathers, decided to search for light so everyone could see. He scoured the land but found nothing. Determined, he ventured into the heavens in search of light. Many days passed without any sign of him. Then, one day, Raven returned, looking jubilant but singed, black, and sooty. With great excitement, he raised his wings and exclaimed, “I found the light!”
The light he discovered was the sun, and the Milky Way is the trail he left behind with his snowshoes.
