How to deal with bears while berry picking

In this song, Varvara Kondrat’evna Belousova describes the joyful mood of the women during an extended trip to gather berries in the tundra. The song also includes advice on how to behave around bears in such situations. When the women are preparing dinner in the tundra after gathering, they say, “The bears will soon come to the riverbank.” And when we spot the first ones, we sing this U-ru-ru-song together, which the bear understands. He watches us closely and recognizes that we are humans. He then turns away and goes on his way. And we can go to bed feeling safe. Because if the bear is not frightened, he will not come to us."
