ESKIMO LEGEND was inspired, and includes a story from Short Sketches from Oldest America, by John B. Driggs: "One time woman chew some spruce gum and she make a little figure and put a raven's beak on it. She like what she make so she put it beside her when she sleep. When she wake up there's first man." Driggs was a missionary at Point Hope in the early 1900's and learned the story from the Eskimos.
