Description
"The first episode is apparently that of the birth of Raven, for the key words: dIs (moon, Raven's jealous uncle) at [:35] is heard; kit (Killerwhale, the spirit that told Raven's mother how to conceive) at [3:07]; kun (flicker, the young wife of whom Raven's uncle was jealous) at [11:50]. There is recorded laughter when Frank gestured to show how Raven plucked flicker feathers from the armpits of his uncle's wife - at [12:19]. The second episode evidently is that of how Raven worsted the Owner of the Tides. The key words are: gic (kelp, down which Raven climbed to get sea urchins) at [13:54]; Frank makes a slurp, to indicate Raven's eating the sea urchins at [14:32]; Frank belches at [16:20]; "de awa yel" in falsetto ("That's enough, Raven") at [17:11]; hutc (end)- at [17:34]. The third episode is evidently that in which Raven's "stooge" throws him down the mountain in a box. The key words are: xacaguk' or xacak'ok'w (Raven's wooden ? servant). Minnie interrupts to ask "How does he remember that?" at [17:55]. Tape runs out."; Story resumed on APSdigrec_0627. See Related Recording.
