The Creation of the Chukchi
In the beginning humanity did not exist; there was only the Creator, an old man, and Tangen, a child. The two of them fought until they were exhausted. Then Tangen said: "Let us create people." "Very well," replied the Creator. They took handfuls of earth and, blowing upon them, created the "grass-hair" people.
Because they could not speak, Tangen spent two years writing and handed them what he had written, but they still could not speak and the Creator laughed. Tangen wrote for three more years and then three more, but they still could not speak. Then the Creator turned into a raven and cawed at the humans: "croak, croak," and in this way they learned to speak.

The Creator informed the Divine Being in the heavens, and the Divine Being sent reindeer to feed the humans. Before the Divine Being could place the sun in the sky, the Creator/Raven seized the sun and hid it in his mouth. He denied having it and said in a low voice: "search me." But when Tangen’s messengers searched him, they tickled him so much that he could not stop laughing. The sun then escaped from his mouth and went up into the sky to illuminate the world.
