Some examples of the wolf appearing throughout Native American
religion and mythology include the following.
The Eskimos told of an old woman, Qisaruatsiaq,
who was abandoned and forced to live by herself,
and who eventually turned into a wolf.
The Sioux called the wolf "shunk manitu tanka,"
or "animal that looks like a dog but is a powerful spirit."
Cheyenne medicine men rubbed warrior arrows against wolf fur
to bring better success in hunting.
The Nootka celebrated spiritual ties to the wolf,
in a ceremony whereby they pretended to bring back to life
the chief's dead son, by wearing wolf clothing.
The Cherokee would not kill a wolf,
believing the dead wolf's siblings would enact revenge.
They also imitated the wolf's walk to help ward off frostbite to their feet.
The Crow dressed in wolf skins to hunt.
The Mandan displayed on their moccasins wolf tails,
signs of success in battle. |
