I'm a polar bear, brrrrr! White as snow.
My fur keeps me warm, wherever I go.
Tell my friend the penguin and my friend the owl,
To listen real good to my polar bear growl. Growl!

Notes

To appease the spirit of polar bear, traditional song and drum music was played, and the skull was ceremonially fed and offered a pipe. Only once the spirit was appeased was the skull be separated from the skin, taken beyond the bounds of the homestead, and placed in the ground, facing north.

The Inuit and Alaska Natives have many folk tales featuring the bears including legends in which bears are humans when inside their own houses and put on bear hides when going outside, and stories of how the constellation that is said to resemble a great bear surrounded by dogs came into being.
