The Bear Symbol – Meaning
Native American Indians regarded the grizzly bear with awe and respect. Early hunting tribes noticed that these bears had very complex behaviors. Many native tribes thought of the bear as a “god”. American Indians saw that these grizzlies were large and very strong animals that could move quickly in spite of their size. It’s no wonder that these magnificent animals would become the center of Indian legends. Often found in Indian paintings and engraved in jewelry, the grizzly was a sign of strength.
