Bored and frustrated with the new animals, Raven and Eagle find a giant clam shell with the first men inside. Raven teaches them to hunt and make fire, but they are useless and he grows tired of them. They find another shell, this time with the first women inside, but they just make things worse. Raven decides to get rid of them. A year passes and Raven and Eagle find the clam shells empty on the beach, and beyond, a village of the first people with their children.
This series follows the adventures of Raven, the most powerful deity of Aboriginal mythology and a cast of humans as they re-tell the traditional stories of the Northwest Coast First Nations People, the Kwakwaka wakw, the Squamish and Haida.
