The Inuit people of the Arctic share a story about Big Raven.
One day Big Raven (a deity in human form) finds a stranded whale.
Wanting to save the whale Big Raven asks the Great Spirit for help.
The Great Spirit told Big Raven that if he wanted to help the stranded whale he must go to a place in the forest where the moonlight fell in a special way.
Once there he would find special mushrooms that if eaten would grant him the strength to carry the whale back to the ocean.
Big Raven agreed and followed the Great Spirits advice, went to the forest and ate the mushrooms.
Once he was done he came back to the stranded whale and brought it back to the ocean.
