At a time when all we seem to hear about is how our Mother Earth is doomed Indigenous Science brings hope. Indigenous Science is the merging of scientific process and Indigenous Knowledge. Over the last decade, the US federal government has recognized Indigenous Knowledge as an asset in efforts to combat climate change and environmental degradation. Indigenous Knowledge is a body of observations, traditional stories, practices, and beliefs developed by Tribes and Indigenous Peoples over millennia. Indigenous Knowledge teaches us to learn from nature's wisdom, to listen to what the animals have to teach us.

Burt Awelagte's white marble Bear has a lot to tell us. Stories about how to adapt, to work with nature and not against it. All bears have important animal medicine in Zuni traditional ways, but white bears have an extra element of healing. This bear seems to be telling us how to heal our Mother Earth if we will only take the time to hear and understand. With eyes of inlaid turquoise and an gift of turquoise honoring the wisdom of the spirit of the bear, this wise elder is about 3 3/8" long, 1" wide, and 2 3/8" tall.

Bear medicine.
