Kenai quickly discovers that the wildlife can now speak to him, meeting a pair of moose brothers named Rutt and Tuke. She does not speak the bear language, but advises him to return to the mountain to find Sitka and be turned back to a human, but only when he atones for his actions she vanishes without an explanation. Kenai falls down some rapids, survives, and is healed by Tanana, the shaman of his tribe. Denahi arrives and, falsely believing that Kenai was killed by the bear from earlier, vows to avenge Kenai by hunting it down. The Spirits, represented by Sitka's spirit in the form of a bald eagle, arrive and transform Kenai into a bear after the dead bear's body evaporates and joins them. He hunts down and chases the bear up onto a rocky cliff, fighting and eventually slaying it. After Sitka's funeral, an enraged Kenai blames the bear for Sitka's death. Kenai and his brothers pursue the bear, but a fight ends on top of a glacier, during which Sitka gives his life to save his brothers by dislodging the glacier, although the bear survives the fall. He objects to his totem, stating that bears are thieves, and believes his point is made a fact when a brown bear steals their basket of salmon.
Unlike Sitka, who gained the eagle of guidance, and Denahi, who gained the wolf of wisdom, Kenai receives the bear of love. The particular animals they represent symbolize what they must achieve to call themselves men. A trio of brothers, Kenai, the youngest Denahi, the middle and Sitka, the eldest, return to their tribe in order for Kenai to receive his totem, necklaces in the shapes of different animals. In a post- ice age Alaska, the local tribes believe all creatures are created through the Great Spirits, who are said to appear in the form of an aurora. 7.1 Cancelled television spin-off and sequel.A direct-to-video sequel, Brother Bear 2, was released on August 29, 2006.
