 The StQr^ Qf Disnejji
BROTHER
O BEAR
ur Story takes place long, long ago when the Great Spirits
watched over the land and all who lived on it, both human and
animal. The Great Spirits looked to the village Shainans CwiSe
people} to go to the mountain where the Spirits touched the Earth.
There the Spirits gave the Shamans objects called ^^totems’’ to give
to the young villagers nearing adulthood. The totems—Small StoneS
carved into di-T-Terent animal Shapes—were then presented at a totem
ceremony. After the ceremony, each young person had to learn the
ways of hiS or her totem before truly being considered an adult.
Then each new grownup placed hiS or her hand print on a Special
cave wall, where all adult villagers leave their mark.

In our Story, three brothers—Sitka, Denahi, and Kenai—go out one day to catch Some
fish for the celebration of Kenai’s totem ceremony. Kenai, the youngest of the three,
is full of excitement aS he waits to discover what animal hiS totem will be. But at the
ceremony, when the Shaman Tanana hands Kenai a totem Shaped like a bear (representing
love}, Kenai cannot hide his disappointment. He had hoped for a totem that stood for
Something brave or noble—^and he doesn’t like bears at all!
To make matters worSe, Kenai Soon
discovers that the -fiSK he and hiS
brothers had causht earlier in the
day have been Stolen . . . hy a hear.
Kenai Sets out alone, determined
to -Tind the thie-T, hut Kenai’s older
brothers -Follow him. Durins a -Fisht
with the thieving hear, Sitka SaveS
his brothers lives hut payS -For hiS
bravery with hiS own. Kenai becomes
angry and decides he must Seek revenge. Denahi tries to
reason with Kenai, telling him that going a-Fter the hear will not make Kenai a man, he
must look to his totem -For guidance instead. But Kenai iS too upSet to listen to Denahi’s
advice, and he Sets out alone to -Find the hear. Kenai Succeeds in hiS task and Soon
stands over the dead hear, hut he Still -Feels a grave Sense o-F loSS.

Unknown to Kenai, Sitka is now one o-F the Great Spirits who watch over hiS people.
Seeing that Kenai needs to learn about love instead o-F revenge, Sitka appears he-Fore
Kenai in the -Form o-F an eagle CSitka’s totem3. Surrounded by the Swirling lights and
animal -Forms oF* their ancestors’ Spirits. Sitka tries to put Kenai on the path to
understanding his totem by turning him into the very creature he hateS most; a hear!

Kenai is not at all happy—or comfortable—in hiS new body. He desperately wants to
become human again. To do this, he muSt go to the mountain where the lights o-F the
Spirits touch the earth to -Find Sitka and aSk -For hiS help. And So Kenai begins
his journey aS a bear.
Now that Kenai is eyperie)loin9 the world aS a iTcar, every¬
thing SeeniS di-fferent. He can even understand and talk to
the animals he meets, including a very energetic hear cuh
named Koda. It turns out the two hears need each other;
Koda needs an older hear to help him -Tind hiS lost mother, and
Kenai needs the pint—Si2ed cuh to help him -Tind the mountain
where the lights o-T the Spirits touch the earth. Although he isn’t
very happy about it, Kenai agrees to travel with Koda.

On their journey together, the two

hears -find many hardships, hut they
also make new -Friends. They meet two
Silly mooSe brothers named Putt and
Tuke, as well aS two macho rams who
think hutting heads will attract a
■Female. But there is always a Sense
o-F danger. Denahi iS on their trail,
planning to make the hear pay -For
''billing” Kenai—not knowing that the
hear he iS tracking is really Kenai.

Through it all, Koda and Kenai become -Friends. By the time they reach the -Fishing Spot
called the Salmon Pun, they are welcomed warmly by a large group of hears—including
Tug, who greets the terrified Kenai with open arms. Soon Kenai realizes that the hears
gather together and celebrate the Same way hiS human -friends do in the village hack
home. He even Starts to feel like a hear, enjoying their companionship
At the end o-T the day, the hears
■Tinally set together -for their Story
circle, it iS there that Koda tells how
he lost hiS another. Kenai’s mind Spins
as he hears hiS little cuh -friend’s
Story, realizing the horrible truth—
that the hear he -fought was hiS
young -friend’s mother. Kenai runs
■from the Story circle to he alone,
hut Koda -follows him, wondering what
is wrong with hiS -friend.

At the top o-f a mountain lit hy stars, Kenai tells Koda the truth about his mother, hut
the little hear iS So upSet that he runs away from hiS new-found -friend. Heartbroken,
Kenai goes alone to the mountain to Seek Sitka’s help. But there Denahi -finally catches
up with Kenai and attacks him with all his strength. Seeing his brothers -fight, the
Spirit o-f Sitka as an eagle appears he-fore Kenai and Denahi. To Denahi’s amazement,
Sitka turns Kenai hack into a human. But Kenai has -found that his place is with Koda—
and not as a human, hut as a hear. Denahi accepts his brother’s decision, and Sitka once
again turns Kenai into a hear. Kenai has at last learned what it means to love, and now
he understands hiS totem. He has earned a Spot -for hiS paw print on the cave wall, next
to the hand prints o-f all the villagers who reached adulthood he-fore him.

Rutt & Tuke
Behind all the ar9uin9 and the teaSin9,
it’s eaSy to See that theSe two mooSe
brothers really love eaoh other. Rutt
and Tuke prefer to Spend their dayS
doin9 nothin9 but eatin9, drinkin9,
Sleepin9, and inSultin9 each other.
These inooSe are not the bri9hteSt
beasts in the forest—^nor are they
the bravest—^but they do accidentally
inana9e to share a bit of brotherly
wisdom with Koda durin9 hiS time
of need.
Tuk«’s
Tanana is the villase sKaman. She leads all cere-
inonieS, teaches the children the villase, and
cominunicateS with the Spirits. DeSpite her ase,
Tanana has a 9reat sense o-T humor and never
takes herSel-T too Seriously. Tanana iS very cloSe
to the three brothers, and She watcheS over
them like a proud parent.

DenaKij the iniddle brother, iS always teasing hiS younger

brother Kenai. Even though Denahi’s totein Cthe wolf} means
'^wisdom,*'’ he doesn’t always follow that path, and his cocky
attitude often gets him into trouble. But Denahi iS loyal and
loves his brothers. Finally Denahi learns the wayS of hiS
totem, as Kenai does, and Denahi eventually replaces Tanana
as the village shaman.
Tu9 is a -Triendly lu9. The l3i99eSt o-T the
tears at the Salmon Pun, he has a heart that
matches his lar9e Size. He iS very -Pond o-T
Koda^ and althou9h he finds Kenai to te one
Stran9e tear, he welcomes him to the Salmon
Pun with open arms.

Totems are animal -TisureS carved -Trom stone. Each totem
represents a positive tyuality^ SucK aS wisdom, travery, or
love. At a certain age, the young people in the village
receive totems ■from the Great Spirits. Then the young
ones must prove they understand the meaning of their
totems, only then can they place their hand prints on
the cave wall. Showing that they have become adults.
