Wolf School 5: Indigenous perspective on wolves and wolf conservation

It's easy (for me) to forget how connected these things are. I appreciate the work and patience and persistence of others to keep drawing out the connections. #WolfSchool https://t.co/UZxMY0Drqg

also a reminder, don't use the racist phrase, "Bottom of the Totem pole"

also, well, actually, the bottom is the biggest support. (amazing picture of a pole that explains Tla-o-qui-aht 's constitution.)

Thank you again! #WolfSchool

I am humbled, overflowing with emotion, and so very grateful for the profound teachings we received from Gabe and Gisele tonight at #WolfSchool. It will take time to process so much learning. Thank you! @Raincoast @nywolforg

Such an enlightening and amazing episode of #WolfSchool today, considering indigenous perspectives on wolves. Thank you to @Raincoast and to Gisele and Gabe for being so generous with your knowledge and insight. 🖤🐺

Martin pointing out that part of the way forward is for white folks to deepen our understanding of local Indigenous people. The [white] saying "being at the bottom of the totem" has it backwards. (White folks should really stop saying this, imho.) #WolfSchool

Martin now speaking to the wisdom of her culture to maintain balance and how lessons about how to be in relationship with the land were shared by wolves. #wolfschool

George telling us about the connection between land and language and people. "When we started to revitalize our language, we started to fight for the earth again." – Gabe George #WolfSchool

Gabriel George | Vancouver is a rich city but it has been hard growing up in a colonial context. This is a critical related aspect to us understanding our modern relationship to animals like wolves. #wolfschool

A powerful reminder from Gabriel George's stories that Vancouver used to be a forest and a habitat. Hard to envision (for me now) that a street in downtown Vancouver was a trail for wolves. #wolfschool
