:28:01
that makes you wanna come in
and spend more time in the world.
:28:04
Because it is a simpler world.
:28:06
It is a wonderful thing,
:28:09
but in fact
it's a harsh world.
:28:11
It's a different world that bears
live in than we do.
:28:14
So there is that desire
to get into their world,
:28:17
but the reality is we never can because
we're very different than they are.
:28:39
The line between bear and human
:28:42
has apparently always
been respected
:28:45
by the native communities
of Alaska.
:28:48
We visited the curator
of Kodiak's Alutiiq Museum,
:28:52
which had recently been raided
by tourists out of control.
:28:57
Somebody wanted it so much,
they cut the paw off.
:29:01
They stole it from here.
:29:03
It was quite tragic for us
because it's on loan
:29:07
and they came in and took it.
:29:12
And how do you see
Timothy Treadwell's story?
:29:15
I see it as something that's both...
:29:20
It's tragic because,
:29:23
yeah, he died
and his girlfriend died
:29:25
because he tried to be a bear.
:29:28
He tried to act like a bear, and for us
on the island, you don't do that.
:29:32
You don't invade
on their territory.
:29:36
You...
:29:37
When you're in their territory,
you know you're there.
:29:39
And when you're nearby,
:29:42
you make sure that
they know you're around.
:29:47
You know, for him to act
like a bear the way he did,
:29:51
would be...
:29:54
I don't know.
To me, it was the ultimate
:29:56
of disrespecting the bear
and what the bear represents.
