In February 2021, a Brutal assault, a wolf hunt on their wolf relative, stirs emotion and grief for Ma’iingan as they know what happens to him will happen to them. “What happens to the wolf will happen to us.” “Our relationship with the wolf is giving us insight into the future, just as what happens to the water quality happens to us, and what happens to the wolf happens to us.” “Fear of wolves has been handed down from generation to generation, reinforced by stories of Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf.” “A being like the wolf has spent thousands and thousands of years co-evolving with beings like the White-tailed deer, and has an important and valuable role here.” “Universal law gives us specific instructions on caring for the earth. That’s a universal law; when you hunt the Mai’iingan, you are violating the universal law.” “Wisconsin has this law, printed in 2012, that when hunting wolves is legal, we will hold a hunting season; it is in our statutes…should we be forcing that?” “I remember exactly where I was when I read they had gone over their quota in a day.” “We are trying to protect our rights and all these animals as we walk through life together.” Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp Like this:Like Loading… Discover more from The Red Cedar Watershed Ledger Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.
