He discusses the important lessons he learned from traveling across the country with the indigenous people. At the beginning of his essay, his story focuses on a specific encounter with a grizzly bear feeding on a caribou carcass. He uses this event to compare how the indigenous people see all the different aspects of this encounter while he is solely focused on the bear, due to his lack of connection to his current environment. He concludes that this experience taught him to pay more attention, be patient, and as he says, “be attentive to what the body knows (2015).” He encourages his audience to reconsider the relationship they have with the natural
