They were really interacting with humans.

And they ended up calling the Canadian government and saying, help with the bears.

And the Canadian government came in and shot the bears.

And the tribe was like, what?

We didn't want you to shoot the bears.

And the government said, well, that's our mandate.

If you call us, we have to shoot the bears.

That's in our laws.

And Douglas said, okay, that's great.

You're no longer welcome.

Thank you.

And the villagers got together and they said, okay, based on our understanding of these bears, what do we know about them?

How do we coexist?

And they moved the site of their salmon cannery.

They got rid of every single fruit tree in the village.

And they invested in piles of bear-resistant trash cans.

And they have not had a bear problem since because they decided to live with these animals and not against them.

And I think that's beautiful.

That sounds like something that your neighborhood is doing too.

And that's something that I think we could do if we really wanted to.
