Overview

Where do Petoskey stones come from? Based on a Native American legend a family learns the story of a natural wonder.

Perhaps the answer lies in the discovery that Mother Bear has been leaving her tears all over the beaches of Lake Michigan for hundreds of years.

Grandpa passes on the age old Ojibwe Sleeping Bear legend, and reveals the untold story of the Tears of Mother Bear.

And school was coming to an end
I’d be dreaming of summer vacation
Of traveling to our cottage once again
