To one of our
Black Bear Clan
sites
I believe that just
about, if not every tribe through-out Indian Country has a
"Bear
Clan?"
Our village (tribe)
changed the Bear Clan somewhat in the early 1940's thanks in part to a
youngster being a youngster.
The land that our
Mohiigan's call home has many Black bears also living in and around the land.
We call them our
neighbors and they look it is as their land also.
When our ancestors
arriver there were many more animals, bears included.
However, since first
contact their as with our families have been to a point or almost extinct!
Un-like the Black
Bear, we are being called 'extinct' by this government and most Reservation
Indians because thousands of our elders/ancestors were declared extinct by
either "Rape" or "Marriage and no longer being called
"Mohiigan or any other tribe for that matter?"
The Black Bear is
systematically becoming extinct because they are in the way!
Come to think about
it, so are we?
Do not mistake
adaptation and survival with "going extinct".
We are simply
learning to beat you at your own game.
The bear family is
being extinct because of being killed!
