yes it's weird in the inuit testimony books bears are NEVER mentioned even though i assume they are a fairly routine menace for one and all
one inuit who encountered them was a young hunter called kai (apparently short for kayak!) who -- after spotting a couple of wandering white guys hundred of miles from where everyone said they all died -- was himself killed by what his fellow inuit called a "very ugly walrus" (which is my favourite line in the book = "strangers among us" by david c.woodman)
