Touching Spirit Bear

Edwin believed that Cole was lying, that he hurt himself and blamed it on the Spirit Bear. Edwin noted there were no Spirit Bears in the area.

Edwin studied Cole. “Spirit Bears live hundreds of miles south of here off the coast of British Columbia, not here in these islands.” He shook his head. “We’ve hunted here since I was young, and so have my parents and their parents. There are no Spirit Bears around here except maybe in your mind.”
