What Is The Spirit Bear Of British Columbia?

Off the shore of British Columbia  on rugged unpopulated islands lives a subspecies of black bear known as the Spirit Bear. This white bear holds deep religious and cultural significance to the native Cadadians or First Nation people. Spirit bears are seen as the spirits of dead ancestors, as messengers and as bringers of good luck. Scientists have studied the DNA of this mysterious bear and found it to carry a double recessive gene that tends to make all those born have white fur.
