The Wolf People- Joseph Marshall III

We -- the wolf and the first peoples -- have within us a key to the future of this country and, indeed, the world. A truth instilled by adversity. A truth both ancient and new.
Milenniums ago we both roamed freely. We did not destroy the land or contaminate the water or foul the air. Our populations did not exceed the physical world's ability to support us. We each had a place in the natural order, the Great Circle of Life, and we kept our places. Nor did we unduly or self-righteously interfere with any other species.

The new, more recent truth comes from having stood on the brink of extinction. It is simple and frightening. The actions, attitudes, and policies by which Indians and wolves are "controlled" are the same that are applied to the land, air, water -- attitudes and policies that have deep roots in arrogance, ignorance, and apathy when they should be based on truth, understanding, and compassion.

For the sake of the world, we pray that non-Indians and non-wolves will see these truths. And if these truths are seen and accepted, then we will all know that there is a natural order still, no matter how much we may have allowed technology and anthropocentrism to hide it from us.

@TheRedneckViking Its the fact that there weren't any wolves for quite a while, then they introduced them again and the elk deer buffalo didnt know what the fuck is going on and couldn't defend themselves. Go ahead and Mock you own race. You dont deserve to be a human if you think we are the scurge of the earth. Fuck man, Yellowstone is a volcano for christ sake. If that shit erupts then everything is gone. Are you going to blame that on humans too?

@Doorsfreak128 thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard, how do you ruin something you were always a part of until killed off. That is why I have always said people are the scurge of the earth, only people refuse to live in harmony with nature, always trying to make things better calling it progress, when in fact the yellow stone area is 1000's times worse off now than it was back when the wolves were naturally there.

The wolf has brought the elk and deer populations back down to where they belong. They are a vital need in that ecosystem to keep populations in check.
