Playing with Polar Bears

You might not know that i have recurring nightmares about polar bears. When i lived in Montana i had nightmares about grizzly bears, but when i moved to Alaska and went to the Arctic Ocean the dreams changed to polar bears. Did you know that Eskimos have a "bear sentinels," or people who stand watch all night to make sure no polar bears come into their town?

Here is a well written account of an Eskimo high school student who had never seen polar bears until she went to visit her friend. She lived in a mountain village where there are only grizzly bears. About two years ago, for the first time ever witnessed by people, a polar bear was seen in a village south of the Brooks Range, the northern most mountains in the United States.

Did you know that if you come to my house again we can drive to the land of Polar Bears in just one day?
