Kurka (Raven Creator)
Not independently attested as a figure of Nivkh folklore. No source confirms a raven creator called 'Kurka' among the Nivkh of Sakhalin; the raven creator-god Kutkh belongs to the Chukchi and Koryak, while Nivkh myth centers on sea and taiga masters such as Tolk. The traits recorded appear to derive from modern speculation.
