Historical oral history of the Nuu-chah-nulth

Nuu-chah-nulth mythology is the historical oral history of the Nuu-chah-nulth, a group of indigenous peoples living on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.Many animals have a spirit associated with them; for example, Chulyen (crow) and Guguyni (raven) are trickster gods. Two brothers, Tihtipihin and Kwatyat, were willingly swallowed by a monster because they needed to rescue their mother, who had already been swallowed. The brothers then cut through the stomach and, with their mother, escaped. Andaokut was born from the mucus or tears of a woman whose children had been stolen by Malahas. He rescued the children and killed Malahas.
