The First Beaver (Coastal Spirit Tales)

A folktale detailing the origin of the first beaver. A brown haired baby is born into a village and the villagers are surprised that she doesn’t have black hair. As she gets older, she begins to go into the woods in the middle of the night. Her father follows her and finds that she has turned into a beaver and dammed the lake so the village can have food and water. Accompanied by realistic marker-like drawing as well as traditional First Nations Art.
