Spirit of the Great Northern Forest Bears eat plants primarily and use them as medicine.
They know which plants to eat for bellyache, worms, gout, arthritis
and diarrhea. Every plant the bear eats-licorice fern, chocolate lily,
angelica, cow parsnip, devil's club, salmon berries, salal-every one
was eaten for nourishment or medicinal purposes by our own ancestors.
Since the bears thrived here long before we two-leggeds showed up, I
bet we learned how to live by watching them. No wonder many of us still
revere the bear as CLOSE WINDOW |
