I knew about the story of Wishpoosh creating the cascades along the pacific, but I only just heard about Kluscap and the giant beaver known as K’chi-Quabeet. The tale comes from the Wabanaki people in the area of Maine and Vermont and beyond. The Penebscot tribe is part of them and that is where Skip Lisle began his work with the beaver and developed the famed beaver deceiver. So you can imagine how revered he was among the people.
(Apparently K’chi-Quabeet had no idea the paleontologists years later would learn he couldn’t build dams. fell trees OR slap water with his tail. Silly Rodent.)
