Solstice stories
My sentimental favorite is an episode of Northern Exposure, during which the town of Cicely is decorated with icons of Raven, the Pacific Northwest Native trickster (counterpart to Coyote).
In this story, Raven is Prometheus, stealing a piece of the hidden sun and returning it to the people. Toward the end of the episode, the woman who portrayed Marilyn Whirlwind narrates over scenes from the town's Raven Pageant; the text from which she reads is in this marvelous, vividly colorful children's book: Raven by Gerald McDermott. (The rest of his work is brilliant, visually and otherwise, as well.)
A toast: to the Return of the Sun!
