Bear Nature-Spirit of Haida
This entry duplicates the bear-guardian-of-haida tradition: bears are genuinely central to Haida culture as crest figures and in the Bear Mother story, in which a woman marries a bear and bears teach the proper treatment of animals. The 'bear nature-spirit guarding rivers' framing is a synthesis, not an attested named being; the attested core is Haida reverence for bears.
