When grizzlies walked upright

The story that i just read was a spirtual story.The book is called when grizzlies walked upright.The book is about the grizzlie bears were the biggest of the animals that walked on earth. They were covered in hair and had sharp claws like they are today. But back then, they walked on two feet. The cheif then brought his family down to live on earth. The cheifs daughter wanted to talk to the Wind Spirit, but her father told her to be careful because the wind could take her by her hair and carry her away. She got taken away by the wind and landed in the scrubby fir trees. A grizzley bear then found her while hunting and brought her to his family. The bears raised her as one of their own. When the mother girzzley knew she was going to die, she asked the Sky Spirit to forgive her for keeping his daughter. The grizzley mother was instantly put to death and then he cursed all the bears to get on all their hands and knees for ever. That's why the Indians living around Mount Shasta would never kill a grizzley bear. Whenever a grizzley killed an Indian, his body was burned on the spot. And for many years all who passed that way cast a stone there until a great pile of stones marked the place of his death.
