Polar bears are creatures of the North that are affected by the changes in the climate. Soon we will think of them only as mythical creatures like the ones seen in the stars on the firmament. Nature and culture begin to fall out of balance.
“To the Eskimos the stars are not just put in the sky to give light or guide the wandering traveler. They are living things, sent by some twist of fate to roam the heavens forever, never swerving from their paths. One of these creatures who left the earth and went to live in the sky was Nanuk the bear.” (http://www.firstpeople.us/)
