(Haida Myth)
The Navajo word for wolf, "mai-coh," also means witch,
and a person could transform if he or she donned a wolf skin.
So the Europeans were not the only ones with werewolf legends.
However, the American tribes have an overwhelming tendency
to look upon the wolf in a much more favorable light.
The Navajo themselves have healing ceremonies which call
upon Powers to restore peace and harmony to the ill,
and the wolf is one such Power.
"The caribou feeds the wolf,
but it is the wolf who keeps the caribou strong."
-Keewatin Eskimo saying
Native American tribes recognized the wolf for its extreme devotion
to its family, and many drew parallels between wolf pack members
and the members of the tribe. Also, the wolf's superior
and cooperative hunting skills made it the envy of many tribes.
Finally, the wolf was known to defend its home against outsiders,
a task with which each tribe had to contend as well. |
