In the winter, in December (the bad month), the bears all go into dens. They stay inside all winter. Then people used to say, "Let’s go look at our dens!" So they went to look at them. And they said, "Come out!" (The bear) was nowhere to be seen. So they shouted loudly, ‘Come out!’ (The bear) He didn’t come out anywhere. So the man crawled in. And one stayed outside. (The one who crawled in) saw (the bear) curled up. Then he pushed the bear outside, he came out. The person came back outside. And the one who stayed outside killed the bear. They finished killing it, they dragged it out of the den. They killed it that way in the winter.

When they brought it in, (the bear) was fat when they skinned its hide. So they made a big fire outdoors. And they spread (the hide) over the fire. So the fat ran together. Then they dragged it out of the fire. Then it became small. And they scraped it when it was cool. And they cut it up. And in the winter they ate it. It was (called) kimkuv.
