TOPIC: ARGUMENT46 - Although black bears are common in the eastern Canadian province of Labrador, grizzly bears-often similar in color, but much larger-were believed to exist only in the western provinces. Despite a nineteenth-century explorer's account of having startled and narrowly escaped from a grizzly bear deep in the woods in Labrador, modern scientists find no physical evidence that grizzly bears have ever lived in Labrador. But recent research into the language and legends of the Innu, a people who have lived in Labrador for thousands of years, reveals that their language has words for two different kinds of bears, and their ancient legends attribute different characteristics to the two kinds of bears. Therefore, there probably were grizzly bears in Labrador, and the explorer's account probably accurately identified the bear.

The arguer concludes that grizzly bear does exist in Labrador, and accordingly asserts that the explorer's account is accurate. However, further scrutiny of this reasoning reveals its imprudence in concluding this way. The evidence found in Innu legends and language does not provide compelling support to the arguer's conclusion.

The only evidence provided in this argument is the accounts of two kinds of bears similar to grizzly bear and black bear. However, to link this description to the existence of grizzly bear in Labrador is suspicious. Firstly, the description in Innu legends and language about two kinds of bears may not refer to the bears in Labrador. As we have no information about the habit of the people of Innu, we cannot ensure the description of that two bears came from their experience in person. Perhaps Innu people are nomadic people, which travel a long way in the past thousands of years to Labrador area. As a result, two kinds of bears in their description may refer to bears living in their original living sites when their language began to form.

In addition, even we affirm that Innu people are not nomadic, there is still uncertainty about the bears appeared in their language and legends. Suppose, for example, the words and description of the two kind of bears refer to the same kind of bear. As is demonstrated in the argument, grizzly bears are often similar to black in color, ancient Innu people may mistakenly confuse the same black bears, grown up ones, and younger ones, as two distinct kinds of bear. As a result, to rely only on the description of an ancient people is not persuasive.

Finally, even if we acknowledge there did exist grizzly bears in Labrador area evidenced by the Innu people's language and legends, we cannot extend naturally to the conclusion that the nineteenth-century explorer's account referred to grizzly bears. Firstly, after the formation of the grizzly bears in Innu language and legends, thousands of years have passed, and grizzly bears may have disappeared in Labrador area, which may explain why scientific research did not identify grizzly bears in Labrador area in modern time. Secondly, the explorer's account may make a mistake under an urgent circumstance -- when his life was jeopardized by large bears during the discovery of it. Without supportive evidence, it is unwise to conclude as the arguer did.

To sum up, the conclusion about the existence of grizzly bears in Labrador area relying singly on the account of those bears in Innu language and legends is groundless. Many alternative explanation can also explain this phenomenon. Moreover, the extension of the conclusion is also unconvincing without more evidence.
