Mudjekeewis:
El Oso de Salud
or “the healing bear” is the symbol
of the UNM Cancer Center and a
Native American totem of power,
health and protection. The bear is
the animal most closely associated
with mudjekeewis, the spirit
keeper of the west and source of
responsibility, teaching, leadership
and healing. It represents our
desire to serve New Mexicans
whose lives have been touched
by cancer with strength, courage,
grace and great ability.
