First lodge and westward migration

Before Vancouver, seven Cedarbanks lived at First Creek in British Columbia’s Interior: Beava, her husband Papa, her mother Nana, and their four kits Nib, Maple, Chip, and Puddle. Drought narrowed their life; wildfire destroyed their lodge after all seven evacuated. Days later, heavy rain on burned slopes caused a destructive flood. Papa died after saving Puddle and Nana at a collapsing footbridge, while Beava brought the six survivors to higher refuge. After a farewell and an assessment that they could not live at First Creek that season, Nana arranged a welcome through her False Creek contacts and the evacuation team arranged transport west. The family reached Vancouver with a small tool roll, essential supplies, and Papa’s chipped green cup.

Cedarbank family and Papa’s loss

Papa is Beava’s husband and the kits’ father, not Beava’s father. Nana is Beava’s mother. Papa dies in the introduction’s bridge collapse; the evacuation team confirms his death that evening. Seven family members begin the introduction and six arrive in Vancouver. Grief continues into the Vancouver story, Nib does not become a replacement parent, and later romance does not erase Papa.
