Authentic Indigenous Art
Artist: Carla Joseph
Cultural Background: Cree

“Bear Mountain” generally signifies strength, courage, healing, and protection in Indigenous cultures, with specific meanings and stories varying widely among different tribes. Mountains and bears are often considered sacred, powerful entities and important spiritual guides that command deep respect.

General Significance:

Strength and Courage: The bear is a universal symbol of power, physical strength, and the courage to do what is right and protect one’s community.
Healers and Medicine: Bears are closely tied to healing and medicine. Many tribes hold that bears have knowledge of medicinal plants (like bear root) or can even heal their own wounds. Bear claw necklaces were often worn by warriors for protection and strength.
Guardians and Teachers: Bears often appear in myths and stories as wise beings, guardians, and teachers of important life lessons, such as balance, patience, and the importance of family and community.
Connection to the Land and Spirit World: Bears are seen as a link between the human and non-human realms and are integral to the ecosystem. Their habit of hibernation is often associated with introspection, renewal, and a connection to the earth’s energy.
Kinship: Due to their human-like qualities (such as standing upright), many cultures view bears as “elder kinsmen” or relatives, and treat them with great respect.
