In Native American cultures all over the world tribe members are taught to listen to all of nature including animals. Animals are very wise and have something to say if we just listen to them and learn more of what each animals has to offer. There are many places on the web that has a wide range of information about animal wisdom but those of Sun Bear is where I find much comfort in. You can learn more about Sun Bear and his journeys along the Medicine Wheel and the teaching he has to offer of animals by visiting Sun Bears site.
My 2 sons love of Animals is what inspired me to make this and give this to them as a gift. They both are being taught to respect and love all animals. We are also teaching them of their Native American heritage. Which they both seem to love and are learning pretty steadily.
