This piece is one of a 10-part series celebrating the return of bears to their cultural beginnings.  Here, the bears confront their history as they wander into the records of the past, preserved in a place once occupied by humans…showing the connection we all have with one another and with the land, and with what's left of wildness.  They address the profound loneliness of the spirit that modern life has created.  It is the non-human animals who are the seers.
