Kutkh
Kutkh (also ''Kutkha'', ''Kootkha'', ''Kutq'' ''Kutcha'' and other variants, (ロシア語:Кутх)), is a Raven spirit traditionally revered in various forms by various indigenous peoples of the Russian Far East. Kutkh appears in many legends: as a key figure in creation, as a fertile ancestor of mankind, as a mighty shaman and as a trickster. He is a popular subject of the animist stories of the Chukchi people and plays a central role in the mythology of the Koryaks and Itelmens of Kamchatka. Many of the stories regarding Kutkh are similar to those of the Raven among the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, suggesting a long history of indirect cultural contact between Asian and North American peoples.

Kutkh is known among a wide group of people that share a common Chukotko-Kamchatkan language family. He is known as ''Kutq'' among the Itelmen, ''KútqI'', ''KútqIy'', ''KúsqIy'' in the southeastern Koryak language; ''KúykIy'' or ''QúykIy'' in northwestern Koryak; and Kúrkil in the Chukchi language. In Koryak it is employed commonly in its augmentative form, (''KutqÍnnaku'', ''KusqÍnnaku'', ''KuyÍnnaku'') all meaning "Big Kutkh" and often translated simply as "God".〔W. Bogoras.
