Description

This Totem Figure is a limited edition creation by Kevin Gadomski and his son Tanner. Each Totem Figure is hand signed, Dated and is a numbered edition. This is The Grizzly Bear and is number 80 of 100 of this limited edition. Tanners native heritage is from the Turtle Clan of the Grand Portage Band of the Ojibway, on his mothers side, whose grandmothers on both sides were full Anishinabe as well as his grandfather who was half Cree. Kevin and his son Tanner have signed and dated the Totem in 2011. The Grizzly Bear Totem measures approximately 21 1/4 inches tall from the base of the Totem to the top of the Bear.

The Ojibway believe every animal has its own individual fits and unique talents and power. Animals were chosen as personal totems by one who hoped to gain an animals special powers through emulating that animals behavior and characteristics. Animals have the ability to sense the changes of the world, the seasonal changes and the coming of things.

The Grizzly Bear is an animal of fierce disposition. He shows great strength and power and also displays great leadership among the clans. The Grizzly Bear Dance is considered the Ghost Dance to bring back the ghosts of their ancestors to help the Grizzly Bear fall asleep for its winter hibernation. The ancestors would join in the dance in their spirit form to help lull the bear to sleep. After the dance is complete, another dance is celebrated called the Circle of Life Dance. This dance is held around a burning log fire until the fire burns out. Native Americans will dance the Circle of Life for warmth and light during the time the Grizzly Sleeps.
