A wolverine and Fools Crow’s spirit animal. Only the grizzly bear is more powerful than Skunk Bear, and Fools Crow is endowed with the power of the wolverine. Skunk Bear also bites of Kills-close-to-the-lake’s finger in a dream as a reminder of her “wickedness” for lusting after Fools Crow, her husband’s son. Most importantly, Skunk Bear directs Fools Crow on his vision quest, and leads him directly to Feather Woman.
