Black Bear started in 2000.[2] They showed their pride in their Atikamekw culture and heritage by singing in their language, which is still commonly spoken today.[3] They began forming in the style characterized as northern contemporary, which features high-pitched singing, songs that speed up after 2nd, 3rd and 4th song repetition (three levels of speed) and honour beats that occur at the end of the first phrase of the tail.[4]
The group's album Out of Hibernation was the winner of the 6th Annual Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards (APCMA) in the category of Best Contemporary Powwow in 2011.[6]
In 2016, a collaboration with The Halluci Nation was the subject of a short documentary called The Manawan Session.[7] They group was featured on A Tribe Called Red's (now The Halluci Nation) album, Welcome to HalluciNation.[8]
Black Bear, along with The Halluci Nation and Tanya Tagaq, performed a medley of "We Are the Halluci Nation", "Indian City" and "SILA" at the 2017 Juno Awards show in Ottawa, Ontario.[9]
