I'm doing this story for forensics but it's a slightly different version. In the one I've got they don't really explain why the old man keeps the ball of light in a box and, of course, most of the wording is different.

The story I read was mainly from the Haida, I read a few different versions and they do differ some

Sounds like a Native legend, but with some creative modernism added!

It was Bill Reid, Haida mythteller, I tried to stay as close as possible to the old story.
