HOW THE RAVEN STOLE THE MOON - for ages 5 – 12 years

The Raven is a trickster.  She uses her wits and magic and loves beautiful, bright and shiny things.
So begins this classic tale of how the Raven takes the Moon from an old cedar box and carries it to it’s rightful place in the heavens.

The Iroquois story of ’THE THUNDERER’ introduces Water Lily, a girl who is forced into marriage with ‘Sweaty Hands’, a rather nasty character.  Water Lily, rather than face this terrible fate, throws herself over the Falls and is saved by The Thunderer, a godlike creature who protects good from evil.
