In North American folklore ravens are the creators of the world. Details of the creation tale differ, but essentially “the Raven”— a creature with human body and raven’s beak — is believed to have made the world. He gave light to people, taught them to take care of themselves, make clothes, canoes and houses. He also brought vegetation, animals, and other benefits for the human kind. Raven assumes the role of Noah from the biblical story of Great Flood — he is said to have taken animals two by two on a big raft in order to save them. After all he had done for the humans, he wished to marry a woman in turn, but her family refused to let her go. As a revenge, the myth says, the Raven created mosquitoes from crushed leaves to pester the humans forever. The belief in intelligence and cunning of ravens or crows is unquestionable and stories paying a tribute to this “winged wisdom” may be found both in European and North American mythologies.
