Kenai is an Inuit boy who lives with his two older brothers Sitka and Denahi. In their tribe they have a ceremony to celebrate boys growing up. At this ceremony the boys learn their animal symbol. Sitka is an eagle which means brave, Denahi is a wolf which means wise and Kenai is a bear which means love. Kenai is angry because he does not want to be a bear. One day Sitka is accidently killed by a bear and Kenai decides to hunt and kill the bear. When Kenai kills the bear, Sitka’s spirit decides to teach him a lesson and turns Kenai into a bear. Kenai must live as a bear until he learns his lesson. As a bear Kenai makes friends with a cub named Koda and they work together to help Kenai return to his human form.
