Beaver Chinook

animal-spirit · United States · North America

Not independently attested as a distinct named spirit in Chinook folklore. Beaver appears within broader Pacific Northwest animal tales and, most prominently, in the Salish and Kootenai story 'Beaver Steals Fire,' in which Beaver dives to bring fire to the people; a Chinook-specific beaver figure needs better documentation.
