Summary: This article talk about the history of the wolf. How people used to demonize them and how we still do. It talks about the Native Americans and the way they viewed wolves.

Reflection: I am going to use a lot of this information for a part of my paper. I found it so interesting. Notes for myself: The wolves were extinct by the 1920's after people shot, trapped and poisoned out of their own land. Wolf reintroduction took twenty years to implement and generated massive public debate. Yet, on January 12, 1995, wolves made their historic return to the American Rockies.(paragraph 13, more info there)
