although black bears are common in the eastern canadian province of labrador, grizzly bears—often similar in color, but much larger—were believed to exist only in the western provinces. despite a nineteenth-century explorer's account of having startled and narrowly escaped from a grizzly bear deep in the woods in labrador, modern scientists find no physical evidence that grizzly bears have ever lived in labrador. but recent research into the language and legends of the innu, a people who have lived in labrador for thousands of years, reveals that their language has words for two different kinds of bears, and their
