Beaver Totem

Thick fur, webbed feet, steer with tail/rudder,  live in water, control it by building, eat leaves and tree bark.

Bear is a great enemy.  But walls of lodge are so thick that bears don’t bother to break through.

Beavers construct their lodges and dams with trees and saplings that they cut down with their big front teeth and with mud.

I’ve eaten some pretty unusual things in my global travels, and most often, it was for the best that I was not aware of what I ate until afterward. Case in point:

An old Ojibwe medicine man once made me a delicious hearty stew. It wasn’t until I had cleaned my plate that he informed me I had just consumed “beaver balls,” as he called them — aka beaver testicles. “It’s time to attract a good man into your life to take care of you!” he exclaimed. “This medicine will help,” he chuckled.
