Myth of the Spirit bear

 

The legend is from the Kitasoo who have lived with these bears for thousands of years.

“Raven made one in every ten black bears white to remind the people of a time when glaciers covered this land and how the people should be thankful of the lush and bountiful land of today.”

They believe Spirit Bears hold super-natural powers, hence the name Spirit Bear – a name that suits its mythical like person.
