Raven Song Rattle
Francis Horne Sr.
CA$12,000.00Yellow Cedar wood, Wax finish, Acrylic paint
“Many years ago, my grandfather shared with me the story of Raven and Wild Woman.
Raven rests high up on the branches of a cedar tree, sunlight reflecting off coal black wings. He turns a bright eye toward the sounds of laughter, head twisting first in one direction then the other, searching the forest floor. Raven calls out, a high-pitched whistle.
As his search continues, he spots the little ones running across the forest floor in search of the sweet tasting berries ripening in the hot sun. Alerted by the sharp whistling sound the children stop in their tracks. Raven calls out again only this time with words. Raven says, “walk over to me, this is where you will find the sweetest berries.”
The Wild Woman, hidden in the shadows, watches as the little ones easily follow Raven’s direction. Hungry for a taste of the little ones, she waits and watches as Raven easily gains their trust. Mimicking the Raven’s whistle Wild Woman is pleased to see the children head in her direction. Before the children realize they have been tricked, she has scooped them up in her basket [and carries them away].
Children are told this story as a warning.” – As told by Francis Horne Sr.
