This Bear Panel is hand-carved in yellow cedar by Kwakiutl artist Trevor Hunt. It has been painted in black, green, turquoise, red, and sage green acrylic paint and features six inlays of mother-of-pearl.

The Bear Symbol represents strength, family, vitality courage and health. The bear is thoughtful and independent, with little need for fellowship. The bear is also self-contained and strong-willed in nature. A Bear is of great support and comfort to those who crave human company simply for personal reassurance rather than for the simple pleasure of being with friends. He makes lonely periods of life far easier.
