Eagle and Raven tell their own versions of how, before the light, Eagle and Raven carried the Great Spirit across the world. As they travelled he ate and drank, Raven became too tired to help. Tired and frustrated, Eagle angrily drops them from his back and they fall to the ground. Worried he has killed his friends, Eagle flies down to their motionless bodies but the Great Spirit reaches up and grabs his head-feathers, turning them white. Eagle is horrified, but Great Spirit tells him that is what he gets for having no sense of humor.

This series follows the adventures of Raven, the most powerful deity of Aboriginal mythology and a cast of humans as they re-tell the traditional stories of the Northwest Coast First Nations People, the Kwakwaka wakw, the Squamish and Haida.
