}}Henry John Bear is a Native American politician from Maine. In January 2013, he was sworn-in as the first elected member of the Maine House of Representatives representing the Maliseet people. He replaced David Slagger, who was appointed to the Maine House.[1]

Bear grew up in Lewiston, Maine living in poverty. At 17, he joined the United States Coast Guard, where he met his wife, Violet Dotson. The two have four grown children and eight grandchildren. He and his family live in Houlton, Maine, where they operate a Maliseet respite care facility.[1]

He was the Democratic candidate for the 144th district in the 2016 election.[2] In November 2017, he became a member of the Maine Green Independent Party.[3]

Bear ran unsuccessfully for Maine's 2nd congressional district in 2018.[4]
