Today on Of Cedar and Salmon, we return to the great beginning. An age when the world was new. When people and animals lived side by side in delicate harmony.
Near a thriving coastal village, a mysterious and creative creature appears for the first time.
When the villagers capture this shy newcomer - Beaver - they discover the wonder of his handiwork.
But admiration soon gives way to hunger, envy, and desire. Despite Beaver’s pleas for mercy, the people’s greed and pride drive them toward a devastating choice.
What happens when harmony is broken?
Can people learn to live in balance with the natural world?
And will Beaver ever find the peace he longs for?
Sometimes it takes tragedy to teach what our hearts refuse to learn.
This is the story of “Beaver Tail.”
