No, not that Raven. I drove up to Oregon last weekend for my cousin's wedding, and while I was there I felt the need to draw a girl wearing a Haida/Kwakwaka'wakw style raven mask. Incidentally, both groups are actually native to Washington, Vancouver Island, and up the Canadian coast to Alaska; the Coast Salish in Oregon have a distinctly different art style; I didn't say it made complete sense, only that I felt the need to do it.

The actual Raven dancers have a more decorative, shapeless outfit that is usually light colored with black decoration; think of this as an abbreviated super hero version, or if you like, a Raven taking the form of a girl dressed as a raven. Ravens are several layers of clever that way.
