About
Recounts the fascinating narrative of the white Spirit Bear!
Spirit Bear is a great source of intrigue, as is the First Nations legend how this unique bear came to be. When Raven first created the world, everything was white. After some time, Raven decided the world needed colour, but as the ice began to melt, people started fighting over the land that appeared. Years passed, more and more animals changed colour and the world became more beautiful than ever, but the people kept fighting over everything. So, Raven decided to remind them where they came from by turning one in every tenbears white.
To this day, Spirit Bear, also called the Kermode Bear, still wanders the islands of British Columbia to bring this message to the world.
