Along the way, Sitka and Denahi attempt to catch fish while Kenai rides on a mammoth's back, disturbing their work. With the argument behind them, the three brothers take to their canoes and paddle back to their village. Kenai with his brothers, Sitka and Denahi, during the "Great Spirits" musical sequence Sitka promptly splits his brothers apart and reminds them that they need to get along until their work is done. After the stampede passes, Kenai jokingly warns his brothers to never try milking a caribou, and a furious Denahi tackles Kenai to the ground, attempting to drool into his face. Exhilarated, he races toward his brothers, Sitka and Denahi, yelling at them to take cover, and the three boys take shelter behind their canoes. One day, while out with his brothers, a rash adolescent Kenai foolishly starts a stampede of caribou. Unbeknownst to the two, the amulet bonded them in the eyes of the Great Spirits. While helping her recover at Hokani Falls, Kenai gave Nita an amulet. One day, Nita fell through a frozen lake, and Kenai dove in after her, saving her life.
It is implied that Sitka raised and took care of both him and Denahi.Īs a child, Kenai formed a friendship with a girl from another tribe named Nita. Kenai was born as the younger brother of Denahi and Sitka. The two were married, with Koda still a part of their family. However, she ultimately chose to transform into a bear so that she could be with Kenai. Eventually, the pair burned the amulet, and Nita returned to her village. Kenai agreed, but over the course of their time together, he and Nita developed feelings for one another. Later, Kenai encountered his childhood friend, Nita, who implored him to help her burn an amulet he had given her when they were children in doing so, he would break their bond before the Great Spirits and thus allow Nita to marry another. After his transformation, Kenai was welcomed back into his village and allowed to mark the wall of his ancestors with his paw print, having learned what it means to be a man. He then asked Sitka's spirit to change him back into a bear so that he could care for Koda, and Sitka obliged. A fight ensued, in which Koda came to Kenai's rescue, but before Denahi could kill Kenai, Sitka transformed him back into a man, and Kenai reunited with his brothers. Kenai attempted to reason with Sitka's spirit, but before he could make contact with Sitka, Denahi appeared, mistaking Kenai for the bear who had seemingly killed both his brothers. The cub fled in horror, and Kenai dejectedly made his way to the mountain, alone.
However, while at the Salmon Run, Kenai discovered that the bear he had killed had actually been Koda's mother, and he professed his guilt to Koda. Near the end of his journey, Kenai was welcomed into Koda's home, the Salmon Run, where he learned to appreciate being a bear. At first, Kenai was endlessly aggravated by Koda, but over time, he learned to love the cub as a brother. After the transformation, Kenai sought help from his village leader, Tanana, who told him to return to Sitka and ask to be changed back.Īlong the way to the Mountain Where the Lights Touch the Earth, Kenai met a bear cub named Koda, who became his traveling companion. The Great Spirits were disturbed by Kenai's senseless act of murder, and so Sitka transformed Kenai into a bear to give him a different perspective on his actions.
During the fight, Sitka sacrificed himself to save his brothers, and Kenai became obsessed with tracking down and killing the bear to avenge his brother's death.Īfter a deadly fight on a mountain, Kenai killed the bear. However, the encounter led to a perilous fight between man and beast, which drew the attention of both Sitka and Denahi. Shortly after the ceremony, Kenai found that a bear had stolen his tribe's basket of fish and tracked it down with the intention of getting the basket back. When he came of age, he was gifted with a totem, the Bear of Love, much to his disappointment. He grew up in his tribe under the watchful eye of his elder brothers, learning to hunt, fish, and honor the Great Spirits of the deceased. He is the younger brother of Sitka and Denahi, the adoptive elder brother of Koda, and the husband of Nita.
