Cultural depictions of ravens

There are many references to ravens in legends and literature. Most of these refer to the widespread common raven. Because of its black plumage, croaking call, and diet of carrion, the raven has long been considered a bird of ill omen and of interest to creators of myths and legends.
French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss proposed a structuralist theory that suggests the raven (like the coyote) obtained mythic status because it was a mediator animal between life and death.〔Structural Anthropology, p. 224〕 As a carrion bird, ravens became associated with the dead and with lost souls. For example:
*In Sweden, they are known as the ghosts of murdered persons.
*In many cultures, such as Aboriginal and Native American legends, the raven is believed to have originally been white.
==Official bird==

It is the official bird of the Yukon and of the city of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
