The Raven Flood Totem, Alaska.
National Archives and Records Administration.
According to the NARA description: "The raven circle at the top represents heaven. The legend is that the raven at flood time flew up to heaven with children in his arms to save them. When the flood subsided, he descended (two figures from top) and lighted on a piece of kelp, represented here by a frog."
