| Abstract | There are moments in outdoor education that can only be described as magical. These are times when the wider world mirrors human stories with an uncanny synchronicity, as if choreographed by an unseen hand. Often the only thing people can really do is try and stay out of the way. In the author's own work, the footsteps moving through such magical moments have very often belonged to the bear. The author lives in the territory of the Nakoda people, where the words for "bear" translate as "the Great One," "all-knowing Grandfather," "the Great Mother"--honorific terms revealing a deep respect and reverence. Such respect is echoed in the traditional lifeways of Original Peoples around the world and throughout history. From the Paleolithic cave bear burial sites in Europe that may be the earliest archeological evidence of the human spiritual impulse, to the newly designated Great Bear Rainforest protected area in British Columbia, the bear has deeply impacted and perhaps even shaped the consciousness of every culture that has encountered her. In this article, the author shares stories of bear encounters that bring growth and healing. (ERIC). |
