Raven Guardian of Ute

guardian · United States · North America

Not independently attested in Ute folklore. Ute tradition knows no raven guardian of the oceans or the land; its great beings are Sinawav (Sinauf), the Coyote creator who carried the peoples in a bag of sticks, and his brothers Coyote and Wolf. A 'Raven Guardian of Ute' is a modern invention or misattribution, likely from Northwest Coast Raven cycles.
