SPIRIT MOCCASINS

Beaver - Tsimshian legend of the origin of Beaver—a brown haired woman dammed a small dream to swim in a. As she swam, her leather apron slapped the water. The stream grew to form a lake and the woman, refusing to return to her unkind husband, developed fur all over her body. Her apron turned into a tail and her large front teeth grew even larger from continuous chewing of trees and branches. The beaver is also known as the symbol of the carver.
