## Biography

Shortly after the funeral, Kenai argues with Denahi that they should hunt down the bear that had killed Sitka, but Denahi refuses, believing it to be wrong. Kenai reminds him that the bear is responsible for Sitka's death, but Denahi retorts coldly that he does not blame the bear. Despite this, Kenai departs to enact his revenge, and after a moment, Denahi follows, intent on stopping him. Meanwhile, Tanana speaks to Sitka's spirit, telling him that his brothers need his guidance. **Eventually, Kenai tracks down the bear responsible for Sitka's death and slays it atop the Mountain Where the Lights Touch the Earth. Incensed by the senseless death, the Great Spirits appear overhead, and Sitka materializes before Kenai in spirit form, indicating the body of the bear as it is swept into the heavens to join the spirits. Then, in eagle form, Sitka lifts Kenai into the air and transforms him into a bear.** Before Denahi can fatally stab Kenai, Sitka lifts Kenai out of danger and transforms him back into a human. He then approaches Denahi, taking both his cloak and Kenai's totem, and gives them to Kenai. Afterward, Kenai has a touching moment with Koda, his bear cub friend. Worried over Koda's fate, Kenai tells Sitka that Koda needs him, and Sitka grants Kenai's request by transforming him back into a bear. He then embraces his brothers before returning to the heavens.

## Physical Appearance Characteristics

**Sitka is identifiable by his parka, which is burgundy with white trim. He wears his totem, the Eagle of Guidance, under his clothes.** As an eagle, Sitka is dignified and sharp-featured. His feathers are brown, and he has a crown of white on his head. His eyes are a piercing yellow.

## Personality and traits

Sitka is the peacemaker and voice of reason among his brothers. He never takes sides when Denahi and Kenai fight, but rather tries to find a middle ground that placates both parties. In this way, he is open-minded and sensitive, as he does not dismiss his brothers simply for being combative, but makes an effort to recognize their frustrations and desires. **Even in his professional life, Sitka is a leader. He works hard to contribute to his tribe and does not get easily side-tracked, unlike the more fun-loving Kenai. He is slow to anger and uses reason to guide his actions. Even when faced with a dilemma, such as a bear making off with the tribe's fish, he brushes the incident off and focuses on how to fix the problem.** Despite Sitka's patience, he is a firm teacher and does not restrain from doling out punishment. When Kenai kills the bear that had caused Sitka's death, Sitka responds with disappointment and transforms Kenai into a bear in order to teach him why his actions had been misplaced. However, despite his indignation at Kenai's actions, Sitka continues to watch over him, monitoring his journey and ultimately saving him from harm at the hands of Denahi.

## Trivia

* Sitka is voiced by D.B. Sweeney.
* Sitka is named for a city in Alaska.
* The song heard during Kenai's transformation into a bear is likely sung from Sitka's perspective, as the singer speaks of Kenai's heart "turning away" from him and of the singer wanting Kenai to understand a new perspective. This is exactly what Tanana claims is Sitka's reason for transforming Kenai into a bear in *Brother Bear*.

## What Makes Him Pure Good?

* Sitka disapproves of Kenai's killing of the bear to avenge him as he put his and Denahi's lives before his own and punishes him by turning him into a bear so that he would understand from the bear's perspective.
* When he sees that Kenai learned his lesson when he learned that the bear he killed was Koda's mother and atones for his actions by defending Koda from Denahi since Koda got involved, Sitka saves Kenai by returning him to his human form, leading Denahi to realize that he could have killed his own brother, which he thought was Koda's mother that he believed killed Kenai.
* Sitka honors Kenai's decision to return to his bear form, as Koda doesn't have anyone to care for him anymore to atone for his past wrongs and returns to the spirit world with Koda's mother, indicating that they are on better terms.
* Unlike his siblings, he has no corrupting factors.
