This week I chose to read Myths and Legends of Alaska told by Inuit storytellers.

I chose to take notes over the first story: The creation of the Raven

-it sounds like a man basically cracked from an egg?
-His egg was hanging from a Beach Pea vine
-He drank water?
-A raven came and flew to him
- PLOT TWIST THE RAVEN CHANGED INTO A MAN
-The raven is confused as he has never seen someone like him before
-He repeatedly asks where the man just came from
-the raven is the one who planted the beach vine or so he says
-The raven leaves for 4 days and comes back with 4 berries he has made.
-The man eats them!
The raven then makes some mountain sheep along with some reindeer
-The raven then makes some wild reindeer
-The raven then decides that the man will be lonely and makes for him out of clay a beautiful girl.
