Well, here we go! It's time to get started on a new season of Patron Deities. In this opening episode, I'll be expressing some reservations about the chapter's approach to indigenous cultures and then talking about the cosmic trickster of the Pacific Northwest, Raven. 

Also, if you don't want to hear a story about a bad thing happening to a dog, you could skip the second story about Raven.

Canadian listener Alfred points out that the name "Queen Charlotte Islands" is no longer in common use, and that the islands are now referred to by their indigenous name, Haida Gwaii. I think this is going to happen a bit with some of these older sources, and clearly I didn't know enough about Canada to catch it here.
