This is our collection of links to Babine, Wet'suwet'en, and Carrier stories and folktales that can be read online. We have indexed our Native American legends section by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same legend are often told by American Indians from different tribes, especially if those tribes are kinfolk or neighbors to each other. In particular, though these legends come from the Carriers, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Slavey and Chipewyan tribes are very similar.
Utakke
(also spelled Yutakki, Utakké, Yuttore or Yuttoere): This is the name of the great sky god of Carrier mythology.
He is a benevolent creator spirit who sometimes intervenes to help people in distress.
His name means "He who lives on high."
