The Spirits, represented by Sitka's spirit in the form of a bald eagle, transform Kenai into a bear after the dead bear's body evaporates. He chases the bear up onto a mountain and kills it. Angered, Kenai heads out to avenge Sitka. Kenai and his brothers pursue the bear, but a fight follows on a glacier, during which Sitka gives his life to save his brothers, although the bear survives.

He objects to this, stating that bears are thieves, and believes his point is made a fact when a bear takes some 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 animal it represents symbolizes what he must achieve to call himself a man. Three brothers (Kenai, the youngest brother Denahi, the middle brother and Sitka, the eldest brother) return to their tribe in order for Kenai to receive his totem, a necklace in the shape of an animal. The film is set in a post- ice age Alaska, where the local tribesmen believe all creatures are created through the Spirits, who are said to appear in the form of an aurora.
