Exploring: Cougar and Bobcat

Support the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/cedarsalmon Family relationships encompass some of the highest joys and deepest challenges of the human experience.They shape who we are, sustain us through hardship, and sometimes leave us carrying wounds that last a lifetime.It's a reality as old as humanity itself, and one that lies at the heart of many traditional stories.In this episode of Of Cedar And Salmon, Chris and Long Claw explore the Kwakwala legend of Cougar and Bobcat.We examine what happens when family bonds fracture, how isolation changes us, and search for belonging after conflict.Plus, we swap stories of our own personal encounters with the wildlife of the Pacific Northwest.And discuss the significance of those rare moments when the wild chooses to step into our path.Because sometimes the oldest stories aren't really about animals at all. They're about us.---Want more immersive storytelling?
