Creator

Chukchi · deity · primordial · deity

Spirit-class creator (classed as deity). Bogoras records the name as Tenanto'mwan, 'the one who induces/creates being'; in many tales the Creator's work is performed by Raven (Kurkil), so the two overlap. Cyrillic Тэнантомгын reflects the later Russian-orthography rendering of the Chukchi name.
