The Legend of the Wolves of Gunfl int Lake is a story about relationships.
Whenever we hear the howl of a Wolf, a tingling up the spine tells us
this is a very special voice in Mother Earth’s symphony. Legends from
around the world speak of the close bond between Wolf and Human. Wherever
they are both found, so are stories like the one in this book. The Ojibwe
people of the Gunflint Lake area tell a story of the time when Wolf
and Human first came to be. They regarded each other as sister and brother
– Wolf people and Human people – and they hunted and raised their children
together. Let the inspiring and beautifully-rendered The Legend of the
Wolves of Gunfl int Lake take you back to that time of honoring. See
the ways that Wolf and Human cared for each other, and how that can
be a metaphor for the kindness we can extend to all of life. And see
especially how each of our children has a special talent for serving
the people – just as Wolf does for us.
