What? I guess all those grizzly bear claw necklaces were fake...the ghost dance, circle of life dance, all the stories of the "Great Bear" were all fake? All the legends of griz across tribes from the yukon to the cherokee are all what? The Mandans regaled L&C with their tales of the grizzly bear.
All the mountain man encounters documented on the plains in ND, SD, eastern CO etc...are they fake?
They lasted even longer on the plains in Canada and were documented into the 1960s
