The wolf teaches us to be humble and to protect the balance of nature, elder says
From CBCRadio:
For Ojibway and Mohawk elder Hazel Dixon, humility is about valuing everyone’s role in the community — like a wolf does.
“Some may be hunters, others might be protectors, others may be nurturers,” she told Unreserved. “A wolf that has hunted food will take it back to the den to eat with the pack before it takes the first bite of food. So none is better than the other.”
In the Ojibway Seven Grandfather Teachings, the wolf represents humility. Dixon says the teaching encourages us not to gloat or brag, as well as to respect the balance of nature where every individual and species has a role to play.
