How Raven stole the sun / story by Maria Williams ; illustrations by Felix Vigil. by Williams, Maria. New York : Abbeville Press, 2001. Subjects Tlingit Indians -- Folklore   Tales -- Alaska.   Indians of North America -- Alaska -- Folklore   Folklore -- Alaska. ISBN:  0789201631 Series:  Tales of the people Description:  29 p. : col. ill. ; 24 cm. Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  A long time ago, Raven was pure white, like fresh snow in winter. This was so long ago that the only light came from campfires, because a greedy chief kept the stars, moon, and sun locked up in elaborately carved boxes. Determined to free them, the shape-shifting Raven resourcefully transformed himself into the chief's baby grandson and cleverly tricked him into opening the boxes and releasing the starlight and moonlight. Though tired of being stuck in human form, Raven maintained his disguise until he got the chief to open the box with the sun and flood the world with daylight, at which point he gleefully transformed himself back into a raven. When the furious chief locked him in the house, Raven was forced to escape through the small smokehole at the top -- and that's why ravens are now black as smoke instead of white as snow.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hana P/S Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 398.2089 Wi   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 398.2089 Wi   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 398.2089 Tlingit Wi Folklore Checked In Add Copy to MyList
