Bear and Three Hunters - Ojibwa / Musquakie Big Dipper The bowl stars of the Dipper form a bear. The stars of the handle are hunters. The tiny star Alcor is a small dog named "Hold Tight." In autumn when the Dipper is low to the horizon the blood from the arrow wounds drips on the trees and turns them red and brown. http://www.wwu.edu/depts/skywise/legends.html Come visit us at.
