He is a large
Amphibious animal,
Massive and colossal.

He penetrates the
Earth on the whole
Sole of his feet.
He owns the waters
When he visits the creek.

Our Native Americans
Watch his power and strength
And fortitude.

His knowledge of surviving
The wilderness and plains
Lends wisdom to the tribal men.
A loner, they learn from him.

After the native ones
See him face to face,
It determines the path
through the wilderness,
Alone, they must take.

This guardian of the river,
Connects them to the 
Spiritual world. 

He’s massive, impressive.
He’s the strength giver.
He’s The Guardian, The Bear.
