Editing Koryaks (section)

==Religion==
Koryaks believe in a Supreme Being whom they call by various names: ''ŋajŋənen'' (Universe/World), ''ineɣitelʔən'' (Supervisor), ''ɣət͡ɕɣoletənvəlʔən'' (Master-of-the-Upper-World), ''ɣət͡ɕɣolʔən'' (One-on-High), etc. He is considered to reside in Heaven with his family and when he wishes to punish mankind for immoral acts, he falls asleep and thus leaves man vulnerable to unsuccessful hunting and other ills.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jochelson|first=Waldemar|date=1904|title=The Mythology of the Koryak|jstor=659272|journal=American Anthropologist|volume=6|issue=4|pages=413–425|doi=10.1525/aa.1904.6.4.02a00010|url=https://zenodo.org/record/2275313}}</ref> Koryak [[mythology]] centers on the supernatural shaman ''[[Kutkh|Quikil]]'' (Big-Raven), who was created by the Supreme Being as the first man and protector of the Koryak.{{sfn|Chaussonnet|1995|p=28-29}} [[Raven in mythology|Big Raven myths]] are also found in Southeast Alaska in the [[Tlingit people|Tlingit]] culture, and among the [[Haida people|Haida]], [[Tsimshian]], and other natives of the Pacific Northwest Coast [[Amerindian]]s.{{sfn|Chaussonnet|1995|p=28-29}}
