The crown symbolizes light

Whenever they directed their travels toward supernatural beings, the timid heroes were useful to mankind. According to a tsimshian tale, Txamsem (Crown) creates a trap to steal from the heavenly leader his most precious possession, the moon, with the aim that the inhabitants of the world, who until that moment have lived in a kind of eternal darkness, get the light (since the moon is regarded as the source of all light). It is said that the daughter of the heavenly chief drank from the jar where Cuervo became a pine needle.

She consumed her, became a mother and gave birth to a child in the shape of a Crow. Cuervo joined the heavenly chief's family and persuaded the latter to allow him to play with a ball created with a bladder, a container where the moon was stored. One day, the family stopped looking at the boy, and the boy drove the ball back and forth through the door. Dressed in his old crown clothes, he returned flying into the human world with a bladder in his hand. Later, Cuervo asked a group of spectral entities to give him some of the fish he had caught. After they refused, Cuervo became angry and broke his bladder because he was aware of the great opposition of spectral beings to light. The first dawn occurred when the bladder broke, the moon escaped, and light flooded the sky.

The king of the heavens is the thunderbird.

The Throne Ave is the way in which the Throne Spirit appears on earth.

This large animal, which has an eagle-like appearance, emits flames through its tip or eyes, and when it beats its wings, it generates noises. He is attributed to impressive creative and destructive abilities.

Wakinyan, the Lakota Trueno Ave, is a helper god, a manifestation of the supreme being, and there is a cult associated with the personal experience of meeting him. According to the Iroquois, he adopts a human appearance as the Son, the Spirit of the Throne that protects the sky. Among the main gods of the sky on the northwest coast is the Ave Trueno, which is so large that it can catch whales, its favorite prey.

Westerners believe that there are four thunderbirds, each of which lives in a quarter of the world. The Trueno Ave is constantly fighting in this and other areas against the evil beings of the underworld, such as the underwater panther, and its impacts cause the most violent natural phenomena such as earthquakes, floods and storms.

According to local tradition, Native Americans believe that any object touched by the lightning of the Ave Trueno has a spiritual power that should be avoided or venerated.
