In Nuxalk culture, Raven is a trickster figure with the power to shape the world, often associated with creation and transformation. The myth of Raven and the Sun tells of how Raven brought light to the world, freeing the sun from a hidden place to provide warmth and guidance to all living beings. Raven’s actions represent both the cleverness and the chaos that can arise from seeking power and knowledge. The Sun, often depicted as white in Nuxalk stories, symbolizes life, renewal, and the cosmic balance. Together, Raven and the Sun embody the forces of creation and change, with Raven serving as both a catalyst and a keeper of powerful secrets.
