The Raven and The Sources of Light

In the Raven and The Sources of Light, accretion or conjunction myth was used in the story. It was used by Raven going under cover as a seed that the daughter of the great chief consumed, which then formed into a baby. The baby or Raven, was trying to find light and ended up returning the stars, the moon and the sun out of the bags that the great chief has stored away. “Finally the grandfather gave him the bag that was filled with stars. The child rolled the bag around on the floor of the lodge, then suddenly let go of it. The bag immediately rose to the ceiling, drifted through the smoke hole, and flew up into the heavens.”(519) This myth is also Dues Faber because the Raven is the one main creator or maker. He supplies the world with light (sun/moon) and islands (pebbles). “It immediately formed an island where Raven could alight on solid land and rest for awhile.” Also when Raven has successfully shed light to the world, “And from that day until this, the sun, moon, and stars have remained in the sky.”
