‘Once, the Yupitt say, there was a man who was always quarreling with his wife. they fought over everything. the wife said her husband was lazy. the husband said his wife only wanted to sleep with other men. finally, the wife went to a shaman in the village and begged to be changed into another creature. anything but a woman, she said.

the shaman turned her into a raven. she flew off and built a nest, where she mated with other ravens. but every night, she found herself flying back to the village. now, ravens cant come inside dwellings, so she would sit on the roof and hope to catch a glimpse of her husband. she’d think of reasons for him to come outside.

one night, he stepped through the entry and stood under the stars. oh, she though, how lovely you are.

the words fell into her husband’s outstretched hands, and just like that, the raven turned back into a woman. just like that, the man wanted her once again to be his wife’
