A still from the film The Great Bear and the Six Hunters
Coming to YouTube soon

Six hungry hunters, one of them carried on a litter because he claims to be sick, find the tracks of a bear. They drop everything to chase it, rising higher and higher without noticing, and the lazy one overtakes them all. Hunters and bear are still in the sky as the stars of the Dipper.

This film was made together with collaborators from the Lakota, Inuit, Tohono O'odham, Diné, Sámi, Finnish and Estonian peoples.
