The Native American Wolf

The Native American Wolf


Since the beginning of time, the Native Americans have been associating their lives with that of animals in the wildlife kingdom. One of the most misunderstood of these animals is the wolf. For years, the wolf has been seen as an aggressor, when in reality they are very loving and social creatures. This side of the animal was first seen by the tribes of the Americas. The Native American tribes recognized this and they have incorporated the wolf into many of their myths and legends. The wolf will forever be connected with the Native Americans, and studying more about this connection can help one to best understand the world of Native Americans.

One can look to the many tribes of the Native Americans to see stories that tell about wolves. The Sioux, Cherokee, Lakota, and others all have stories about how the wolves helped in the developMent of man. The creation story of the Cherokee has a wolf in it as well as the story of the woman who was left behind in the Lakota tribe and the wolf saved her. Just as Romulus and Remus were supposedly saved by a she wolf and they then founded Rome.

Wolves have been in the world of Native Americans since the beginning. They are revered not only for their vigor but also for their endurance. Wolves can retain life with tiny Food or water for highly long periods of time. This was something that the Native Americans hoped for in their own selves.

Today, the wolves can be seen in numerous Native American arts. They are depicted by Watching over people while they sleep or as a journey to the spirit world. Owning these magnificent creatures is not something that most are encouraged to do, however, you can own a piece of Native American art that showcases these unbelievable creatures. If you do not live in or near an Indian reservation or land, then you can use the internet to hunt for beautiful artwork that is all hand made by Native American artisans. All things from wolf jewelry to wolf dream catchers can be located online. Often you will see woMen with the wolves in Native American art due to the stories that depict woMen and wolves together.

Hunting the American Werewolf - Book reveal

Linda Godfrey succeeds in uncovering more sightings and tales of Wisconsin's popular Bray Road Beast, an apparent man-wolf, or wolves, which seem to have strayed from their traditional haunt in Walworth County, Wisconsin. They now prowl the woods and swamps of neighboring states. Godfrey also reveals historic incidents and encounters from many other places too, even outside of the Us.

In this follow-up to the Beast of Bray Road Godfrey continues to gift the case of mysterious man-wolves with an open mind, and a fun writing style that manages to keep the reader just shy of peaking the fear Meter, though there are a few spots that may push the needle closer to the red.

The Wolves

In "Hunting the American Werewolf" the reader will find more speculation as to what these creatures may be; shapeshifters, hybrid wolf-dogs, or an assumed extinct bear/dog like creatures called Amphicyon. An piquant idea and, as this reviewer found, one of the most creepily piquant notions in the book.

Godfrey has even explored more supernatural possibilities as well. Could they be spirit beings? Demons from hell? Aliens? These and other ideas are examined, along with the obvious connections with Bigfoot. And, just like in her old book on the subject, Godfrey takes no shame in presenting ideas that many readers will find nothing short of absurd.

She presents them all regardless of how outlandish they may seem, along with a few trips down the psychic highway in which we learn that one woman has apparently contacted the head wolf beast telepathically and was informed that they mean the human race no harm, thankfully. And another in which a fellow claims a race of man-wolves travels to and from our world through interdiMensional vortices.

However far fetched these theories may seem, "Hunting the American Werewolf" is a well researched book presenting down-to-earth recognize accounts as well. It is piquant on many levels. Keep an eye out for more from Linda Godfrey and we'll see where the man-wolves rear their ugly heads next...
