On the trail of the legendary American black bear, this adventure will introduce you to the rangers, visitors, scientists, and seasonal workers who frequent Yellowstone National Park.
Icon or trophy? Cuddly toy or horror story monster? What is our relationship today with the black bear, and how has popular culture influenced our perceptions of it?
Using eye-witness accounts and stories by both indigenous peoples and American immigrants, this exploration will enable you to assess the power of the imagination in our depiction of the real world, and to identify the narrative techniques that are used to re-imagine it.
