Gwa’wina - Raven

Colour photograph side view of Gwa’wina - Raven mask shot against red background

Umeł is the name of Raven who was the Chief of the Myth People. He did great things for his people such as giving them fire to use and releasing the Sun after it had been locked up by a thieving chief. He also taught the ways of the T´seka to the people which is why you may see the Raven perform the last dance in T´seka.
