"The Bear Mother legend is a story of parental love and self-sacrifice. Many years ago, a chief’s daughter was taken by the bears to live in their village. She married the son of the chief of the bears, & they had 4 children. One day, her brothers found the village and came for her. Her husband offered his life, if his children would be spared. The woman returned to her people & the children were raised in the bear village."
