But, have you ever wondered how it came to be known as the great bear? It is from a tale long ago, of the person who met the great bear and learned a new way of life.

The Ursa Major, is one of the many constellations in the night sky. It is also known as the great bear, to separate it from the lesser bear.

This story began long before the stars were understood. This tale starts here in the forest.

One day, a young Indian man was going to hunt for some food in a forest. He came across a big bear!

This bear was blocking his path. The Indian knew that the bear had not seen him. But he could not pass without the bear knowing he was there.
