Raven and the
Birds
Raven (Yell) announced that he was
going to give a feast. He carried a huge salmon up from the beach and
all the time he kept calling, "My dear little nephews, my dear little
grandchildren, I need your help. We are going to give a feast." As he
called, little birds of every color and shape began to fly to him.
There were red birds, yellow, brown, blue birds, hundreds of little
birds that came to help him.
He dug a shallow pit and then said to
the birds, "While I am digging the pit,
you get skunk cabbage leaves and sea
weeds for us to wrap the salmon in. And you, red and yellow birds, go
and get twigs for the fire." The little birds flew away. They were
back soon and Yell had all the things he needed.
He asked the little birds, "My little
nephews and my little grandchildren,
It was beginning to get dark when the
little birds returned, each with a twig and very weary from their
long flight. Raven said, "You were gone for so long that someone
stole our salmon and ate it up." The poor little birds, weary from
their long journey, just put up their little wings, up over their
heads, sat in the light of the last glow of the coals and
slept.
Among the birds was Blue Jay, Yell's
favorite grandchild. Yell said to Blue Jay, "Come here my grandchild.
Sit by me so I can comb your hair." Yell while tying up Blue Jay's
hair would sneak a bit of salmon which he had saved and put it in
Blue Jay's mouth. That is why today blue jays have feathers sticking
up in the back of their heads.
