A Bear Scare - From Our Community:A Bear
Scare
"This is a story that I heard about a few women picking berries in bear country and being very careful there weren't any bears around. It was in late July when the salmonberries were ready to pick. The women were all dressed in kuspuks and carrying buckets with them. After picking berries for a few hours, they became tired and decided to eat. They were sitting down eating dried fish when they saw a bunch of ravens flying around in a distance. Everyone was curious about what was going on. Then one of the women said that there was a bear and the ravens were circling it. The women did not see the bear but knew from past experience that where there were ravens there was probably a bear nearby. Since they didn't have any guns or other ways to protect themselves, they collected all their belongings and walked to the boat." Story by: Lula Teganlakla ![]() | |
