Bears were an important part in Native American Indian culture as various symbols of strength, hard work, and even great love. Many tribes considered the 'Great Spirit' to often take on the form of a bear. It would lead hunters on great chases and could die only to be reborn in the spring. Bears were mythical and 'magical' creatures that existed.
The Native American Indian, as a whole, are constantly aware of their relationship with Mother Earth and her creatures. The spiritual goal of the Native American is to live in harmony with the universe.Native American Navajo
