I remember seeing photos of them in this book a long time ago--published
in 1994.

Subject: [Tweeters] The KERMODE or called SPIRIT Bear in Canada!!!!!

Hello Tweeters,
This is an exiting story told of the WHITE rare form of Black Bears in

Canada of the Island's of Gribble told by Jessica Snyder
Sachs.Published by
National wildlife. This is the first time that I heard about this RARE
SUBSPECIES of the Black
Bear,and it sounds only exist on this Island with 500,000 acres of
Kermode
habitat closed to logging. I like to ask how many Washington Birders
ever saw ore heard of this pale
color variant of the American black bear?It is by many call " Canada's
Panda.
