This is the story of how the first beaver came to be. It tells of a young girl, Reedee, who is born with hair the color of Mother Earth, not the color of the Raven like the rest of the people in her clan. It isn't just her hair that sets Reedee apart: at night, when everyone else sleeps, Reedee disappears into the forest. Her parents are dismayed, but when they learn that Reedee has a path she must follow on her own, they support her and allow her to become her true self.
