It is customary that others should not tell stories that are owned by another clan without their permission, and efforts should be taken to learn whether or not a particular story is owned before sharing it. It's important to note that, from some storytellers' perspective, indigenous myths such as the Raven Tales, as opposed to tall tales and little stories for children, are not entertainment and can be the cultural property of the clan or individual that the story originates from. His tales are passed down through the generations of story tellers of the people and are of cultural and historical significance. Raven and eagle are known by many different names by many different peoples and is an important figure among written and verbal stories. Raven stories exist in nearly all of the First Nations throughout the region but are most prominent in the tales of the Haida, Tsimshian, Tlingit and Tahltan people. They are also found among Athabaskan-speaking peoples and others. Raven Tales are the traditional human and animal creation stories of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. The Raven sits on a frog after having rescued children from a flood.
