The seven stars that make up the Big Dipper are arguably one of the most recognized formations in the night sky. They are visible year-round from northern latitudes and have inspired countless legends around the globe. Many First Nations legends describe the Big Dipper as a great bear. The story told through this series is about three great hunters who set out in pursuit of a great bear. That bear is killing all the animals, and our people will starve. We must stop it, the elders said. Three great hunters set out in pursuit of the great bear. They tracked it for many moons, across the earth and up into the sky. To this day, you can still see the great bear running across the sky with three hunters close behind. We usually call this formation “The Big Dipper”.
