I wrote this for a different post, but thought it'd be worth posting here ^^:
What are your thoughts on Atka, particularly his backstory?
Atka’s mentioned to have brought his “entire tribe with him,” presumably meaning Atka is from a different tribe; was an alliance intended by having the two wed (it is, after all, said to be “a very important marriage”)? Or were Kenai and Nita to marry and form an alliance?
If the marriage was meant as an alliance between Atka and Nita's tribes, how does her becoming a bear effect this?

I've never thought much of the marriage at first, as Atka probably just brought his tribe to the marriage as witnesses to the grand occasion. But it does make sense that part of the marriage was to form an alliance between their tribes, as history shows marriage is one of various ways for alliances to be formed between two factions. That is, if we are to believe Nita was the daughter of the tribe leader. Was this stated? It's been so long since I've seen the movie.
It's a guessing game trying to wonder what happened after Nita became a bear. Considering Nita was pretty ticked at Atka after the latter pushed Kenai off a cliff side, one could guess that Atka couldn't face her again after that and left. Or he probably stuck around long enough to see Nita turn into a bear, in which case he got the hint and left, while probably giving Nita a "I understand your choice and respect it" speech off-screen after staring slack-jawed at the new Nita.
So if there ever was an alliance to be made, it was most likely forgotten and never made considering the marriage didn't go through as planned. Unless both tribe leaders were good sports about it and decided to go through with the alliance without the marriage, which, considering Disney, could be a plausible outcome.

What Kenichi just said. But I was curious how this whole ailliance marriage came to be. Then again, it IS Disney! They don't even bother having to take the time to explain things; then again, most animated movies really don't cause we can only figure it out for ourselves long as they give us some hints!
