For 10 points, what is this bird whose trickster aspects arise from its tendency to steal and hide away small shiny objects?
This culture hero and trickster is prominent in the mythologies of the Native Americans of the Pacific northwest coast.   He is the principal creator of the Alaskan Inuit, and Tsimshian legend attributes the creation of humankind from an elderberry tree to him.  Other legends imbue him with an insatiable appetite or with a terrible temper, the latter of which leads to the breaking of the copper ma, which frees the sun to light the world.  Some peoples, such as the Tlingit of southern Alaska, break these two aspects into twin beings.
