Long Answer

1. An at.óow is a traditional Tlingit blanket covered in totem symbols. It does not have an owner and is usually passed from generation to generation. Garvey gifts one to Cole to symbolize his trust in and friendship with Cole, and to show Cole that someone cares about him. The at.óow helps Cole by giving him physical and spiritual warmth and by providing him with a reminder of the island while he is in the detention center. Cole ends up giving the at.óow to Peter after they resolve their conflict. (Various chapters)

2. The Spirit Bear is a symbol of pride, connection, forgiveness, and patience. It appears to Cole several times throughout the course of the novel, each time to teach him something important and aid in his healing. When the Spirit Bear attacks Cole, he realizes how vulnerable and helpless he is and understands that he does not have control over anything.
