In 1972, our founder Tamarack Song rescued a litter of pups from the last pair of wild Wolves in Wisconsin, which was trapped and sent off to a zoo. Those pups became the foundation of the first known effort in the US to initiate a Wolf reintroduction program. And so starts the story of the Brother Wolf Foundation. We invite you to join us in celebrating our Golden Anniversary!
“If you talk to the animals,” said Salish Chief Dan George, “they will talk to you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them, you will not know them; and what you do not know, you will fear.” We have come together for love of Wolf; and to truly know and love Wolf, we need to know their language. The theme of this Anniversary Year is Wolf language—the elaborate, poetic way they communicate with each other, and with us. Throughout the year, we are offering special courses, publications, and presentations on Wolf language. Please look under the respective menu item for a listing.
As a kickoff for the year’s celebration, here is a video of Amelia Thomas, author of an upcoming book on animal language, interviewing Tamarack for the book:
Thank you for being a part of our 50th Anniversary Celebration in whatever way you can participate. We look forward to having a good time with you as we come together to honor the spirit of Wolf,
