Clam goes to live with his cousins Raven and Mink, who think he’s weird because of his strange stories and his stupid leg. Raven tricks Clem into upsetting their neighbour Mrs Lewinsky with a prank that goes wrong – they shouldn’t have messed with her as it leads to all kinds of trouble for all three of them, not least when Basket Woman appears…

Clamshell Boy is a univeral story of family, community, the environment and the power of storytelling. It is a free adaptation of the Makah’s traditional story of Basket Woman. The North West coast Native American’s have a rich cultural heritage and tradition. Find out more at www.makah.com
