Post #2
I am credited with being responsible for releasing the sun and creating light on earth, and to some I am also responsible for giving the gifts of water, stars, and game to mankind as the creator. The only animal to symbolize me is, of course, my kin, ravens. I am mainly spoken of in North America, by the many tribes that populate the area.
I am described as being a caring figure, as mankind was dwelling in the dark and I gave them the gift of light. But, I also am not to be trusted and am very selfish, for I did not give mankind the gift of light and various other gifts of creation for their own good, but for my own gain. I stand alone, as I do not associate with any others, but my greatest foe is the trickster god Coyote. The only symbol to distinguish my presence is my true form, a raven.
