In Zuni culture, a fetish is a small, carefully carved animal or figure that embodies the spirit of the animal or natural force it represents. These carvings are believed to hold special powers and are used in various rituals, ceremonies, and as protective talismans. The Zuni people believe that each fetish carries its own unique set of attributes and can aid its owner in different ways, such as providing guidance, protection, or healing.
Bear- Guardian of the West. The bear is associated with great strength, power, healing and self-knowledge. He is the great protector, the "sacred bear" He is a spiritual guide and also carries within him supernatural powers. Bear is a powerful healing fetish. All bear fetishes are powerful but the white bear is the most powerful medicine bear.
