Notes from DaVic Gallery: The mother bear protects her cubs with ferocity. She is also cunning and knowledgeable about the plants of the forest. Like the mother bear, the Bear Clan is responsible for protecting their people. It is said that people of the Bear Clan are short tempered and live on the outside of the village to ensure the safety of the gentler clans inside the village. The bear clan are also the medicine people for they know the healing ways of the plants available to them.
Bear clan dancer weeps for she’s failed to protect her people as she’s meant to. She fought ferociously to exhaustion and her children perished nonetheless…
