“... At the council fire that night there was much rejoicing and her heart was filled when the Chief said, ‘Because of her brave deed, the spirit of the great bear, wisest of all animals, is now hers.
And from this day forward she will be honored among her people as Huntress of the tribe.
And she shall be called... Bear Woman’.”
