Oban's Myths & Legends
The Girl who Married a Bear (continued)
Peesunt told her father, the Chief "I don't feel comfortable living with people now. May I live in the small house at the edge of the village?" "Yes my daughter, you can" said her father.
Peesunt took her two cubs and lived in the small house. One day, one of her brothers brought her some bearskins to make warm clothing for the winter. Peesunt and her children put the skins around them and turned into bears forever. She took the cubs into the mountains and they were never seen again.
The people of her tribe remembered how the daughter of their chief had married a bear and taught them to respect any bear that they killed.
They followed her teaching and were very successful hunters.
