Entrance to the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage

            The statue is titled "Raven the Creator" created by John Hoover in 1998. 

Raven is the Creator in many Alaska Native and American Indian legends.  Elements from many different legends are incorporated into this sculpture including "Raven Stealing the Stars, Sun, and Moon."  The human figures in the claws symbolize icons used by the Russian Orthodox faith and the face in the belly of Raven is symbolic of Mother Earth.  The face on the back of Raven's head is representative of the many transformations Raven could perform.
