Read the passage from "The Raven and the First Men The Beginnings of the Haida."
The men were hungry and thirsty, but there was no
food on the large sandy beach, and the salt water just
made them thirstier. Determined to take care of the
men he had found, Raven flew to find them provisions.
When he returned, he gave them almost everything
they would ever need.
Still, Raven could tell the men were not truly happy.
They did not have companions to join them in caring
for the earth. So Raven, wise and determined,
searched the earth and sea until he found a group of
women trapped inside a chiton. He brought them to
the men. The two groups of humans fit well together,
and Raven became very protective of his people.
