A Bear Gets a Native American Blessing | Born To Be Wild: Black Bear Rescue | BBC Earth

[@guysmiley3084]

I lived in northern Arizona near the Navajo and Hopi native Americans. They are such beautiful people. So kind and gentle. Really great people to be around.

[@aspdeepak4yt]

Sad that, they are wiped out because of their kindness :(

[@katherineeeeeeekillerwhale]

What a beautiful blessing. If only all cultures and religions had that attitude towards animals…

[@pontiacaztec917]

Spirit of bear power,strength, back trek wisdom freedom in the forest with truth!!.

[@zenzylok]

Beautiful creature, may it thrive in its newly visited natural habitat.

[@zk6454]

Why did this make me cry

[@22jaydogg]

Because your soft as jelly

[@kodiakandgrizzlybears3787]

Lovely black bear.

[@alexamerling79]

Beautiful blessing to a beautiful animal :)

[@maddygates9566]

All natives r what the Creator intended human beings to be..love, respect & lite 🙏💓💕💞🦚

[@angelofdeath275]

I didn’t expect to cry

[@501stlegionnaire]

Sadly these bears are going to need all the help they can get since Agent Orange decreed that is once more legal to hunt bears that are hibernating

[@Agui007]

Burdie Birdie I thought that myself. Humans who have no peace or respect in themselves certainly do not, for nature! Any animal that is hunted should only be for sheer survival and not a trophy for the ego. The first nations had so much and now look at it.

[@BiggestJ247]

Hthat made me cry

[@CatonaWall175]

Very moving.

[@gabrielanava9996]

This reminds me of Disney's Brother Bear 🐻

[@banosannasser4071]

The effort they made to save a life yet hunters kill them for fun.

[@Ceraxes3221]

It won’t be killed. It’s been prayed for. It will survive.

[@laladywarriors820]

Ahh so sweet

[@martinmanifold2241]

Great stuff . Xx

[@isabelmariereynolds]

So much

[@GMOFoodsaregood]

Bear hunting should be legal. But only unarmed hand-to-hand combat should be allowed. See how tough our hunters are then...

[@kamiskenaw4340]

Well, humans are weak. But we are smart you see.

[@bear2747]

[@ForNika]

[@kimatyt]

Who's the narrator?

[@kimatyt]

Amanda Burton herself?

[@VuMinhThuFPLHN]

The bear sleep through the winter, why they wake it up

[@JJones-oi3jc]

I wonder what it's like to be a Native Indian knowing your people were almost wiped out

[@tyranta.devillier1791]

did their ancestors speak english?

[@Theminerboydiamonds]

Tyrant A.Devillier of course not lol

[@therumbleinthejunglee]

I don't know why but this video made me sad

[@TheReevessss]

Because it looks wrong. So young. Orphan, they know nothing eg. hunting for body warmth protein.

[@isabelmariereynolds]

I hate hunters

[@TheReevessss]

Dreamers grand standing. Even if WSPCA. This is asinine Cruelty. How are young bears going to survive? Haven't learned to hunt. For their "vital" body warmth Protein. And they left area bears while still sedated.

[@lindaboyce8805]

they woke a bear, put the bear back to sleep- what was the point? and the blessing? seems like something white man taught the Indian to do, i just don't see ancient Indians taking the chance waking a bear.

[@nyasha2669]

linda boyce The bear was relocated away from people back to its home. I don't see what's wrong with the blessing and so what if someone else taught them? Sometimes different practices combined with regular ones are very good

[@kevinrichter8678]

Why do you think white man taught them this ? The natives have been blessing animals and nature for a long time, you would be amazed at how close a person can get to a hibernating bear, I run into Black Bears in the middle of summer all the time, I have been within 5 to 15 feet of 300 pound bears quite a few times, you just have to know how to deal with the situation.

[@azieg.7054]

also “ancient indian” is not the preferred nomenclatur, Native American please
