At the beginning, when the Earth was fresh and new, the Great Spirit. Creator sent down His Raven to enjoy this new creation. As Raven soared down from cloud to cloud he began to take the colour of the snow crystals that touched his wings.

As the days passed a White Raven began to tire. After many days, exhausted and soaked with rain, White Raven landed on a small piece of of muddy ground. The dirt splashed up on his body and wings. He began to change colour to black as the mud spread all over his body.
