Animal crests, like the one featured in this 65 piece wooden mini puzzle, often convey aspects of traditional creation myths, and beliefs about the natural and the spiritual worlds.
"This image was created to help Indigenize one of the biggest holidays of the year, so native peoples can more fully participate in the holiday spirit in our own way, by retelling one of the most well-known indigenous stories, 'How Raven Stole the Light'."
At the beginning of the story, trickster Raven sits atop an evergreen tree. There he comes up with the clever idea to disguise himself as a needle: this initial transformation leads to unlocking the gift of light (sun, moon and stars) being held by the Old Man in his many bentwood boxes.
'How Raven Stole the Light' is one of the most retold stories through oral history, and has many variations. Artist William Flett recommends sitting with any and all versions.
