Himwitsa
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Himwitsa or Himwits'u is derived from the Nuu-chah-nulth language, translated as "Story Telling and the passing of knowledge from Elder to Youth".[1]
In the Canadian First Nations this category includes the mythologies of those peoples, as well as fables about The Raven and other animals.
