  1. The white raven holds special meaning for Alaska Native people, according to Rosita Worl, a Tlingit anthropologist and president of the Sealaska Heritage Institute.

    “There is definite excitement in the Native community throughout Alaska in seeing White Raven, reconfirming for Native Peoples Raven’s trickster nature and his transformation capabilities,” Worl said in an email.

    Oral tradition holds that Raven was white to begin with, “but through his antics he was transformed into a Black Raven,” Worl said.

    “Seeing White Raven today confirms both his trickster and culture hero nature, bringing benefits to the human world — including laughter and humor.” Photos by Marc Lester of the Anchorage Daily News #WhiteRaven #CelebrityStatus #AnchorageAlaska
