Native Americans MythologyĪ tribal raven is a popular form of tattoo worn by those with an interest in Native American myths. Popular culture such as The Crow has made the raven even more of a symbolic interest for artists, creating a character that is equal parts pain and hope for a better outcome, even in death. Draven’s name itself is a play on the word “raven”, and the character that he comes back as has all the same dark and tangibly “evil” aspects that we associate with the bird. Many of us are familiar with the movie The Crow, in which Bruce Lee’s son Brandon played the infamous character of Eric Draven, a reborn rock star out to take revenge for his murder and that of his wife. This sort of “rebellion” is another symbolic aspect of this creative bird. Because of this, they can become quite the nuisance in urban areas where they tend to flock together and create a lot of noise and consequent destruction. Known collectively as a “murder”, crows are notoriously and ironically difficult to kill due to their inherent smarts. The wisdom of this bird is proof that it can learn from its mistakes, making them incredibly hard to trap or trick in the real world. As for the bird itself, the crow is intelligent to the point of being clever and tactile in its implements.
