The Sun is often carved on totems and masks and sits atop the tallest totem pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRaven\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe creator, transformer, and trickster. He is mischievous and playful, symbolizing truth, knowledge, and transformation. Raven demonstrates the complexity of nature, and reminds us that not everyone sees the world in the same way. While a trickster, in many myths he is an aid to the creator, acting as the messenger from the sky, clarifying truths for the people, earning him the name “keeper of secrets”. In mythology the Raven released the sun and moon into the sky and discovered mankind in a clamshell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNelson Cross\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn to the Eagle Clan of Haida Gwaii.
