It started out like a documenter about three bears a mom, sister, and brother which had three toes and his name was Mosomseewab-(sp??) and then it morphed in to a movie about a young native American searching for his past and some how there paths intertwined. I think it may have been made by Disney.
I can remember it.
Is it "The Prophecy" (1979)?

QuoteJohn Frankenheimer updates the mutant-monster films of the 1950s with a modern environmental twist in this well-meaning but cliché-ridden late-'70s horror film. Robert Foxworth is so earnest it hurts as a rabble-rousing ghetto doctor who packs up his pregnant wife (Talia Shire) and heads out to the Maine woods to investigate claims of environmental pollution. That's the least of his concerns when a gooey mutant grizzly goes on the rampage and he joins forces with Native American activist Armand Assante (wearing his humorless resolve like war paint) to get out of the woods. Frankenheimer is a good director saddled with a bad, blunt script, and like a pro he delivers the requisite gore and even racks up the tension in a terrific opening chase. But even he can't overcome the clumsiest collection of deformed woodland creatures to claw their way through a monster movie. --Sean Axmaker
Prophecy is nothing like the movie Rogerbone describes.
Certainly not "The Prophecy."
I want to point out that both the original poster and the first person who replied (bluecheeze) posted from the same computer. That is suspect and means it is possible the film described is a prank.

I must have been in a hurry to read his description, because I don't know how I came to the conclusion that I did. I think I jumbled a few things in my head.
Could this be the film?
"King of the Grizzlies" (1970)
Plot:
"Moki (John Yesno) is the Indian foreman at a ranch owned by The Colonel (Chris Higgins). He watches as a baby grizzly bear becomes his playful friend before going off on his own. Years later, the bear returns as a menacing adult and threatens the cattle protected by Moki. When the Colonel wants to kill the bear, Moki interferes. The bear remembers his old friend Moki and seeks another way to satisfy his ravenous hunger in this tepid Walt Disney feature narrated by Winston Hibler."
