(read for Traditional Literature assignment) Contains a creation myth titled "Raven Brings the Daylight" which also serves as a hero/trickster myth, telling the story of Raven, using his trickery to bring the light back to a village from a greedy chief who keeps it all to himself. The light turns out to be that of the sun, moon, and stars. Lessons learned at the end are the benefit of helping others, and that it is bad to be greedy.
