Thank you to everyone who participated in our Name the White Raven contest! The online contest ran Oct. 12, 2024, through Jan. 12, 2025. Participants were given six names to choose from: Delgga, Elna, Guy, Karl, Ralph and Robirda. Delgga—the Dena’ina word meaning “the one that caws”—was the winner. Look for Delgga in future issues of the Raven’s Circle!
In Alaska Native cultures, the white raven signifies hope and healing. Check out this video of traditional healer, teacher and artist the late Rita Pitka Blumenstein (Yup’ik) telling the story of the white raven!
