white spirit bears

THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN NEAR GORDON, WI

Not just any mother bear and her cub, but a black bear with a white cub.
I don't know how rare it is for a black bear to have a white cub but at
least we can say we've seen it no matter how rare it is!
Kind of like a white buffalo. Since there seems to be no sign of a pink nose or eyes, I would say that it is not an albino.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos!


Probably the biggest misconception about Black Bears is that they are black. Like grizzlies they exhibit incredible colour variation, ranging from blond to cinnamon to jet black. Stereotypical colouration is dark brown to black with a tan muzzle. On British Columbia's spectacular Princess Royal Island there is a unique population of Black Bears of which one in every ten is white, a fabled Spirit Bear. These bears are not albinos, but rather the product of 2 parents both possessing a regressive white gene, and have long been of special spiritual significance to Native North Americans.

this is the site for the white bears. Sorry I couldn't figure out how to put it on.

I am so reminded about what Chief Arvol said about not only will we see white buffalo being born, but there will be other species as well, during the changing times.....

White Spirit Animals
 
Thanks for sharing this, OO...It reminds me of a dream I had back in about 1993 or so. I was standing in a cave that was behind a waterfall, and out in front of the cave stood seven white bears. On the back of each of the bears stood a white eagle. Along side the bears and eagles were seven white wolves and seven white buffalo.

At that time I was learning from a Blackfoot Indian named Jim Eagle Feather, who was from up North but said he was guided to stay down here on the coast to teach about the coming earth changes. Jim said that every where he went, whether at powwows or at craft shows (he and his partner make beautiful medicine bags and native jewelry), someone would come up and describe the same dream to him. I don't recall exactly what the significance of the dream was, exactly, other than it was an omen of things to come.

Since then I've seen the white moose, the white bears...even a white alligator! Each time it gives me shivers, but I think back on the prophesies at that time and how they've changed in just 10 years ...FOR THE BETTER, I might add! We are headed in the right direction despite all the cries of gloom and doom.

Blessings,
Lisa

Angelhawk,
Very interesting dream, especially since there were seven of each of the animals...I wonder what the significance of the dream is?
Here is a message from Chief Arvol about the white sacred beings on the planet now,,,,,,,,


The Buffalo, Lion, Dolpin, Raven, Deer, Black Bear, Now the Moose.....

Mitakuye (My Relative),


We are now in a time of prophecy: Animal Nations would stand upon Mother Earth a different color than their natural being and be born white. They are speaking to us with the only voice that can be heard. These messages are of a blessing and yet a great warning!


It is a time of great urgency to unite for Peace and Harmony upon Mother Earth in order for our future generations to survive.


Mother Earth is not a resource, but rather the source of life itself.


Join us on June 21st: All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer!

Good info, OO. Thanks for sharing. I did copy and paste the information for the 2005
World Peace and Prayer Day if people are interested.

Hey, where did Borealis go? Are you developing muktiple personalities? Teehee

Giant hugs to you

The black bear with white cub is really a great picture.

Will go back to read what's on that site.

Is the photo of the white moose taken in Wisonsin too. If not where abouts cuz I am curious to know?

I know of another white moose and calf, though the calf is only half white. It is not far from the family cabin, about 10 miles. Just last week my brother saw them early in the morning. He said he had to do a double take and then pinch himself to make sure he wasnt' seeing things. :)
Seems to be that a lot of white animals are showing up which is wonderful.

love to you and a big hug too
