Long ago, when the land and seas lay shrouded in mystery, humans and spirits inhabited the same space. The stories of the Pacific Coast tribes spoke of gods and demons, good and evil; things unimaginable suddenly brought to life. These were not mere stories told around the fires at night for entertainment but legends that have been left behind as a marker of a once vibrant and prosperous culture. These stories follow the traditional legends of the tribes of the Pacific Northwest. They tell of the Great Spirit, the wise but mischievous raven, the angry Thunderbird and countless spirits, good and evil that inhabit every aspect of native life and land: - Raven Brings Light to the Dark: Raven steals the light and creates the sun and the stars - Raven and Man: Raven discovers humankind and releases them into the world - Raven and the Great Flood: Raven brings the world its lakes and rivers - The Raiding Party (Warriors): An evil spirit transforms a band of brothers into stones and the only brother left goes to save them -The Princess of the Wolves: A wolf princess and her battle against a tribe bent on destroying the forests - Valley of Shadows: Two brothers find themselves caught between the living and spirit world -The Hunter and the Sea Wolf: Two hunters try to out smart each other - The Prince and the Volcano: A young Prince attempts to calm the volcano spirit.
