Raven House Mouse

The enchanting story of how a mouse came to live in a Tlingit (Indian) clan house in Haines, Alaska, and became part of the culture. When the mouse finds the Tlingit clan house, he thinks he's sneaky enough to avoid being caught, but what he doesn't know is that the tribe leader is watching his every move.
