The Tlingits tell the story that Raven’s people were tired of always being in the dark, so Raven contrived a plan to be born as a human baby to the daughter of the Great Chief. He played on the floor of Grandfather”s lodge and whined to play with the beautiful glowing ball in the cedar box. Grandfather spoiled this charming child and let him play with it, but Raven seized his opportunity and quickly transformed back into Raven. With the ball, Raven flew for the smoke-hole but when he squeezed thru the ball fell apart. Raven caught all the parts and with one mighty heave threw them into the sky. Thus Sun, Moon and Stars were flung into the universe to light up the sky.
