Description
According to myth, Rainbow Crow was gifted fire by the Creator in the heavens to warm the cold earth below. The wonderfully colored bird sang his beautiful song to attract the attention of the Creator who, in return, gave him a burning stick to carry back to earth. Soot from the burning stick blacked his feathers, and the smoke destroyed his beautiful singing voice. Rainbow Crow's sacrifice saved the other animals. When you catch a glimpse of the iridescent color of a crow's shining feathers, it is a reminder of his former glory, and his self-sacrifice for the greater good.
