The Great Bear is Ursa. She is the bear spirit who watches over every single bear, no matter what color fur. Her form changes for the type of bear she appears to.
She is known as Silaluk for all polar bears. For black bears and grizzly bears, she is called Arcturus. Some grizzly bears know her as The Lonely Bear. In all forms, she is truly Ursa. She has a son, who is Ujurak, also known as the Little Bear.
