: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.

:30:00
But he tried to protect the bears,
didn't he?

:30:05
I think he did more damage
to the bears than he did...

:30:07
Because when you habituate bears to
humans, they think all humans are safe.

:30:13
Where I grew up, the bears avoid us
and we avoid them.

:30:17
They're not habituated to us.
:30:19
If I look at it from my culture,
Timothy Treadwell crossed a boundary

:30:23
that we have lived with
for 7,000 years.

:30:26
It's an unspoken boundary,
an unknown boundary.

:30:28
But when we know
we've crossed it,

:30:31
we pay the price.
