It's our final episode of the season!
Thank you to everyone who has joined us this year in making our podcast premiere truly incredible.
We will be back with Season Two in February 2026.
Now, let's dive in to our final legend of the year...
Long ago, when people and animals lived together in harmony, Beaver was known for his skill and pride.
But when cruelty and jealousy enter the story, the balance between humans and nature is shattered — and the world changes forever.
Today on Of Cedar And Salmon, we explore the legend of “Why Beaver’s Tail Is Flat,” a powerful First Nations story from the Pacific Northwest Coast.
Through its imagery of respect, pride, and transformation, it reveals timeless lessons about human nature, balance with the environment, and the consequences of cruelty.
Join us as we discuss:
● What the story teaches about living in harmony with nature
● The symbolism of Beaver and the story pole
● How traditional legends reflect values still vital today
Perfect for listeners who love: Indigenous stories, folklore, mythology, and cultural storytelling podcasts.
