The Back Story:

Zuni Bear

The “heart line” or lightning bolt extending
 through the Zuni Bear’s body from its mouth represents it’s healing or medicinal powers.

As the most powerful animal known to the Zuni, the Bear was considered Guardian of the West.  It’s healing power and ability to transform into other life forms was highly revered in Zuni Mythology.

The Zuni believe that if you place a small amount of corn meal under the nose of the Zuni Bear image before leaving, your home will be secure and protected while you’re away.
