Beaver – Ojibwe – Amik

Description

Creative, Artistic and Determined.

Also known as the carpenter of the animal kingdom, a builder of dreams. Beaver is an important crest and the subject of many legends. One legend tells of the origin of the beaver being a woman with brown hair. She dammed a small stream to make a pool for swimming. As she swam, her leather apron kept slapping the water. The pool became a lake and because of scolding words from her husband, she refused to leave it. She became covered with brown fur, her apron turned into a tail, and thus she became the first beaver. Beaver reminds us that we have to act on our dreams to make them a reality.
