      Wait wait wait. Is this an First Nation story because I can’t tell. I’m using this for a project and other tribes keep appearing and it’s messing me up

      I love this story. It speaks of the battle between good and evil. It speaks of love triumphing over all. And gives selfishness it's due course. Who else was the Light of the World?

      Very cool. I wanted to learn about the story of Raven and this video had me glued to the screen. Thank you for posting!! Plus I loved the animation. 😊

      The story is amazing because in my Buganda culture and traditions when we die our souls becomes Spirits and after purification by fire or the Sun the spirit becomes a holy Ghost a symbol of a Dove or Birds because life goes on!

      I went through the comments to find the tribe this story came from. Some specific tribes were named and others said it's a common story across most Pacific Northwest tribes.

      I'm confused – does that mean that many tribes have the exact same details down to the wording that things are described and said? Or is this video not attributable to any one tribe because it's a modern/video/voice acting interpretation of all the original stories, where it no longer has all the original details of any one tribes' version?

      In the same way that almost every culture in the world has a flood story, many indigenous tribes have a Raven and Light story. But in telling a specific flood story it would generally be attributable to a specific cutlure in which the details and words and lines you're using come from one culture's version. It's hard to attribute any one flood story to all the cultures of the world because each individual story has slightly different details. I don't understand a general answer to a specific question.

      Thanks to anyone that can help me out 🙂

      I'm not sure why this mom chose to correct her children by telling this story instead of the Great Flood and Nana Bush? It doesn't seem to address the problem but highlight family dysfunction instead of loving correction. The father in the story seems hateful and neglectful toward the daughter, but the daughter seems like a spoiled child that when she has her own child, doesn't have the good sense to protect it from the dangerous toy. It doesn't seem to fit with the other Anishnabe teachings. Can someone explain?

      It would seem that the story of Raven may tie in with the story of Noah and the Ark.
      The reason Raven didn't go back to the Ark was he had found people who had asked Him for help.
      By the time Raven was ready to go back to the Ark, Noah had found land and so Raven stayed with the people he found.
      Noah, not knowing what happened to Raven, couldn't tell Raven's story and so the people Raven found told Raven's story for him.
