"Moon controls the tides and illuminates the dark night... Moon appears in the [oral histories] of all Northwest Coast nations, though Moon's origin varies from story to story...Most northern [groups] thanks Raven for the gift of moon, and sometimes describe Moon as a chip off of Sun, which Raven clumsily dropped...Moon is characterized as a rounded face with relatively flat features, often those of a human..."
