Myths Surrounding Ravens, Blackbirds, and Crows:

Some tribes of Native America, have viewed these dark emblems in any kind of positive light. Many tribes, in contrast to so many others, viewed them as guides meant to help mankind along his journey in both life and death. A few viewed them as those lucky enough to be granted the power to see the soul as it leaves the human body on its way to its final resting place.

Other tribes view these birds as messengers who have shared the secrets of The Great Spirit with his people. Many Native American legends deal with the crow or raven as the helper of mankind, rather than as a trickster or a bad omen. The bird is often associated with the creation as well as with helping mankind learn how to survive.

Some cultures viewed the crow in a negative light while they viewed the raven in a positive one. Most others viewed them as one and the same. In mythology, it wasn't unusual for the gods to take the form of a raven or crow in order to fly down to earth and mix among their people.
