 Why does Cloyd think the bearstone will bring him strength and luck?

I think he thinks it will bring him luck because it is from an elder infant so he will get luck and strenth-DANNY His grandmother told him if a bear was a man's body guard. That man would be strong and lucky. Jimmy

His grandmother told him in his tribe ( the ute tribe) the bear was the most important animal and it gave them luck and strength. Since his charm was shaped like a bear he thought it was good luck. Emma F

like jimmy said and through expierence josh Because his grandmother said bear's used to be a man's guard, and that meant the man would be super strong and lucky. Danielle Q. I think maybe since Cloyd is a Ute and Ute's believe that they can relate to bears and rely on them, he might think the bearstone will give him power because he is a Ute Indian. -Serena :) I think that maybe because Cloyd is from the Ute tribe that the stone can bring him luck. The Utes deeply believe that a bear is a humans best friend, and that the bear gives them power. -- Cami  The bear stone gives him power because he is Ute and they believed that they where related to the bear. Ben aka ~stuby 2~  Because his tribe (The Ute Tribe) worships the bear --From Matt (The true Stubby) not reely It will make him strong because it's a bear and bears are really powerful. Brendan  ﻿ because the bear is the strongest animal in his tribe and it will give him power. ELLIE

Do you think Cloyd's relationship with the horse has any significance? Explain your thinking. Yes, because Blueboy could like Cloyd so much he will do anything for him. Maybe save his life or something like that. Danielle Q.

I think it will bring him strength and luck because it is part of his Ute tradition that all the utes believe that the bear is kind of human-like.
