When not on my computer, I attend PowWows and Veteran related activites. The wolf is not the animal that most people seem to think it is. It only attacks when provoked, as when being attacked or if one of it's family is being attacked. Wolves are fiercely loyal to their mates, and have a strong sense of family while maintaining individualism. It seems to be through this connection that Wolf has come to be associated with ancient teachings.
Wolves are probably the most misunderstood of the wild animals.
Tales of cold bloodedness abound, in spite of the their friendly, social and intelligent traits. They are truly free spirits even though their packs are highly organized. They seem to go out of their way to avoid a fight. One is rarely necessary when a shift in posture, a growl, or a glance gets the point across quite readily. Traditionally, someone with Wolf Medicine has a strong sense of self, and communicates well through subtle changes in voice inflection and body movements.
