Wolves and Native Americans

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

My research will be about wolves and their relationship with Native Americans. Lots of Native American tribes that lived in the Great Plains admired wolves because they taught the Native Americans how to hunt. These include Cheyenne, Lakota, Blackfoot, Assiniboine, Arikara, Arapaho, Osage, Shoshone, and Pawnee. It will also be about what the wolf was regarded as in terms of spiritual ties with the Native Americans and wolves.
