When Tanana, the shaman of the tribe gave to Kenai a bear, the symbol of love, the young man was very disappointed. He was thinking of something else, grander, such as an eagle, like his brother Sitka, or a wolf as his brother Denahi has. After a bear took the life of his oldest brother, Stika, Kenai was looking for revenge. He followed that bear and eventually, he killed him.

During this time people faced a dilemma: they could either stay in hiding forever or until the war ended, or they could do something that would get their mind off the war and relieve some of their stress. People knew though the risk of leaving the security and safety of their home as they could be shot and killed at any time without warning. But still this did not stop the people working at the zoo and feeding the bear to stop their job. Furthermore, the first verse of this poem states that this is the last animal at the zoo.
