The beaver teaches people to be productive and not limit their options. The beaver teaches us to be persistent and to use available resources. They help people understand the dynamics of teamwork and to appreciate everyone’s talents and contributions in order to accomplish anything. They are builders of the mind, body, and spirit and symbolize creativity, cooperation, persistence and harmony.
