Picture
Perhaps the tribe with the closest of all associations
with the wolf is the Pawnee, in the lands now known as Nebraska and Kansas. The
Pawnee felt such a close kinship that their hand-signal for wolf is the same as
the hand signal for Pawnee. They were known as the Wolf People  even by neighboring tribes. The cyclical appearance and disappearance of Sirius, the Wolf Star, indicated the wolf coming and going from the spirit world, running down the trail of  the Wolf Road, otherwise known as the Milky Way. The Blackfoot tribe also called our galaxy the Wolf Trail, or the Route to Heaven. The Pawnee, like the Hidatsa and Oto tribes, used wolf bundles,pouches of skins from wolves in which to keep and protect treasured implements used for ceremonies and magic.......An extract from Cottie Burland
