I never said it was exclusive to the native american culture but it
was predominantly of what I have learned and not just that it's also
that in these legends that humans has also been tranformed in some

tales that the origins of man was nothing but a snail and his wife
actualy being a beaver woman.... Kinda funny if you realy look at
it...
