Description
Great Bear or Nyah-gwaheh acrylic paint on canvas.
If you look carefully into the skies as the seasons change, you can read the story. The great bear is the square shape some call the bowl of the Big Dipper. The hunters and their small dog (which you can just barely see) are close behind, the dipper's handle. When autumn comes and that constellation turns upside down, the old people say. "Ah, the lazy hunter has killed the bear."
Then, as they cut it up for their meal, the blood falls down from the heavens and colors the leaves of the maple trees scarlet. They cook the bear and the fat dripping from their fires turns the grass white. But as the moons pass and the sky moves once more towards spring, the bear slowly rises back on its feet and the chase begins again.
