Ememkut (Itelmen Ememqut) is the eldest son of the raven-creator Kutkh and Miti and the most frequent hero of the Itelmen tale corpus recorded by Waldemar Jochelson in 1910-11 and republished in Russian by G. A. Menovshchikov. He is the successful hunter and provider of the raven family, wins supernatural wives, and defeats evil spirits and his scheming younger brother Sisilkhan; in one well-known tale he even contends with his own father ('The struggle of Kutkh with Ememkut'). The figure is shared across the Chukotko-Kamchatkan area, corresponding exactly to Ememqut, son of Big-Raven, among the neighbouring Koryak.
