Indigenous cultures like the Hopi regard grizzly Bears as uncles with strong healing powers, praying to them when they see them. We can follow the leadership of Indigenous communities by respecting bears. Practice ethical wildlife viewing by keeping a safe distance and never disturbing natural behaviors or habitats. Kyle Awelagte's mighty grizzly bear carved from Royston turquoise uses a strong snout to uncover tender grass roots and other edibles. Grizzly bears are notable root grubbing foragers. Eyes are from jet inlays and a gorgeous amber and turquoise bead offering bundle is secured to this approximately 3" long, 7/8" wide and 2" tall friend.
