The Man Who Married A Female Beaver
In times immemorial, humans and animals lived together. Humans had relationships with different animals: they lived with otters, then with bears, and we learn how bears hide their dens. In this story, we understand the origins of our behaviors, learned from animals, and discover how they have shaped many of our traditions.
