Native American

Aiken – Duck hawk and guardian spirit to a village.
Aiken comes across two girls weeping over their dead lovers. He takes them to their happy lovers and the girls eventually choose to leave and go back to their village because they know their lovers are happy. Aiken gives them a piece of salmon back bone to smear on the deads lips to bring them back to life. When it runs out and death returns to the village, the Karok people don’t grieve death because they know the deceased are happy.

Anog Ite - (Ite) - She is the bringer of quilling, the craft of sorting and the dyeing of porcupine quills. Anog Ite is known as the double faced women. She attempts to seduce Wi, the sun god, and is condemned by Skan and forced to life with two faces, one beautiful and one ugly.
