Children's Literature: Strange Beasts Find Common Ground
January 4, 2022 Rachel Tilseth	Leave a comment
…Can adults do the same? This is one of my favorite children's books. I believe adults could benefit from reading this book. Many adults have forgotten how to get along with others they disagree with because "they only see it their way."
A tale of Two Beasts by Fiona Robertson is a book that that teaches children about different perspectives. It is broken into two chapters. The first one tells the story from the perspective of the girl, who when walking home through the "deep dark woods," spies a strange little beast and "rescues" him. She takes him him, wraps him in a scarf, gives him a bath, and shows him to her friends but despite all her good care, he runs away. Chapter two tells the same story but this time from the "strange beast's" perspective. He tells us how he was swinging happily on a branch when all of a sudden he is "ambushed by a terrible beast" who ties him up, carries him to her secret lair, makes him disgustingly clean, and shows him off to a "herd of even wilder beasts. Each of the two stories close with either the girl or the animal realizing that perhaps the other person isn't such a terrible beast after all and that perhaps they misread each other.
Fiona Roberton was born in Oxford and studied art and design in London and New York. She has lived and worked all over the world and is currently based in London. Fiona's debut picture book Cuckoo won the International Reading Association's Children's Book Award. She is the creator of the bestselling "A Tale of Two Beasts", which has sold over 220,000 copies around the world.

About Wild Gray Wolves
An informative and important "Wisconsin Wolf Hunt Discussion" is now on SoundCloud
December 9, 2021 Rachel Tilseth	1 Comment
If you missed the live show you can listen to the December 6th Access Hour, for an in-depth conversation regarding the lawsuits and the use of dogs in Wisconsin's wolf hunt with special guests Adrian Wydeven; who led the Wisconsin DNR Wolf Recovery Program from 1990 through 2013, and Peter David; a wildlife biologist with the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission.
Traditionally the first week of December is when wolf hunters are allowed to use dogs to track and trail grey wolves. Wisconsin is the only state that allows wolf hunters to use dogs because of a law, 2011 Wisconsin Act 169 that was enacted during the Walker administration.
Listen on SoundCloud as Adrian and Peter discuss the following questions. Why did the State Circuit Court pass an injunction on the Wisconsin wolf hunting and trapping season? What decision did the federal court make in the case by Earthjustice on behalf of the Ojibwe Tribes? Do these two court cases eliminate the possibility of any wolf hunting and trapping season occurring this fall or winter? What is the current wolf population and how does this compare to 10, 20, and 30 years ago? Does it appear that the wolf population is still growing rapidly or starting to stabilize? How does the DNR count wolves? What current regulations on use of dogs for hunting wolves exist for Wisconsin, and will this change with a new wolf plan? What efforts are being made to update the state wolf conservation and management plan? Will the wolf plan make any major changes in wolf hunting and trapping regulations in Wisconsin?

Outside the snow is falling
And families are calling "Howl Howl"
Awoo-yip awoo-yip let's howl
Let's roll in the snow
We're running in a wonderland of snow.
Awoo-yip awoo-yip it's grand
Just nuzzling your nose
Were running along with the sounds
Of a wintry forestland.
Our thick fur coats are nice and warm
And comfy are we
We're snuggled up together like two wolves
With the whole pack.
Let's take the first path before us
And howl a chorus or two

There's a Birthday party at our friends Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be Howlng the songs we love to howl
Without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop pop pop.
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the blueberries and pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print of coexistence
From a long time past
These wonderful things are the things
We remember from the first time we shared man's fireplace
In ancient times long ago.
Have a Howling Good Holiday Season from All of us at Wolves of Douglas County Wisconsin!

Living in the Wild: Grey Wolves know every square inch of their territory.
October 31, 2021 Rachel Tilseth	1 Comment
The following story is a testament to just how much wolves pay attention to human activity in their territory.
A few years back I received a message in my inbox from a couple living in wolf country. The couple had concerns about grey wolves and were looking for advice.

The couple lived in wolf country on a horse farm, and made it clear that they liked living alongside wolves. In fact, they hardly knew wolves were around, that is until recently.
The couple told me something was different with the resident wolf pack. The couple went on to describe this change; instead of remaining out of sight which was the norm for this pack, the couple began seeing the wolves by the horse corral. They went on to describe that the wolves were not only hanging out by the corral, they didn't run away when they saw the couple. My response was that I would consult with a wolf expert and get right back to them.
I called up Carter Neimeyer, a biologist with decades of experience in grey wolf ecology and behavior. I told Carter about the couple's concern and his response was for me to ask them, "what's changed on the farm?"
I got right back to them with Carter's question and their answer was that they just got a dog. Carter said the wolves were concerned because there's a new threat in their territory because of the couple's new dog. Carter recommended that they keep the dog close to them and leashed. Carter also recommended that the couple make a scarecrow and place it by the horse corral.
A biologist once told me that wolves know every square-inch of their territory. It's just like a family that knows where everything is in their neighborhood. We know where the grocery store is, and we teach children how to avoid dangerous freeway crossings. So why wouldn't it be the same for a family of grey wolves? By introducing a pet dog into the wolves territory the couple unknowingly added a new threat.
It all turned out for the couple and the resident wolves because they followed Carter's advice. They worked to mitigate the problem. The couple learned just how much the resident wolf pack paid attention to their activities on the horse farm. Lesson learned! Conflict avoided!

The Six Ojibwe Tribe's Hearing is This Friday Oct. 29th in Federal Court…
October 28, 2021 Rachel Tilseth	Leave a comment
…As Wisconsin's proposed wolf hunt violates treaty rights.
The tribes, represented by Earthjustice, the nonprofit environmental legal organization, are slated to argue their case about the hunt tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 29, in federal court in the Western District of Wisconsin.
Earthjustice represents the tribal nations Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, the Sokaogon Chippewa Community, and St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin.
Six Ojibwe tribes are heading to federal court Friday morning in hopes of stopping a Wisconsin wolf hunt from taking place this fall.
They're represented by Earthjustice. Senior attorney Christopher Clark said the legal team will argue the proposed hunt is not grounded in sound biological principals and violates the tribes' treaty rights.
It's important to note that our claims in federal court are on behalf of tribes who have treaty rights under the United States Constitution. Treaties are the supreme law of the land, and so they trump anything that's going on with respect to the state law issues that are being litigated in Dane County," Clark said.
Wisconsin's fall hunt was slated to kick off Saturday. But it's already at a standstill after a circuit court judge ruled the DNR must update its management plan, including how it sets harvest quotas.
Clark said the six Ojibwe tribes want to make sure that update happens.
"We are concerned that the injunction that is in place from the Dance County Circuit Court by an appellate court, or during the pendency of an appeal, the state or perhaps or another party could seek and obtain a stay of that injunction, which basically puts the wolf hunt back on," Clark said.
The attorney said his clients don't want to see a repeat of the hastily-organized and what critics say was an ill-timed harvest last February. It took place after the wolf was delisted a month earlier by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Sources
This motion is part of the tribes' lawsuit filed Sept. 21 in the Western District of Wisconsin against the state claiming the proposed hunt violates the tribes' treaty rights. The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board approved a quota of 300 wolves, ignoring the recommendations of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and willfully acting to nullify the Ojibwe Tribes' share of wolves which the tribes seek to protect. Even the lower quota of 130 wolves recommended by the Department has no grounding in sound biological principles because, in developing the recommended quota, the Department failed to obtain a population estimate of the Wisconsin wolves that are remaining after a rushed hunt held in February.
During that three-day hunt, non-Indian hunters killed at least 218 wolves, including all of the Ojibwe tribes' share in violation of the tribes' treaty rights. Neither the Board nor the Department has made any changes to the management of the hunt to prevent a repeat of February's disastrous overkill of wolves. Scientists estimate that a third of all wolves in Wisconsin have been killed since federal delisting.
THE FOLLOWING ARE STATEMENTS FROM EARTHJUSTICE AND TRIBAL REPRESENTATIVES FROM THEIR DECLARATIONS FOR THE COURT:
"This case is about Wisconsin's responsibility to protect and conserve the natural resources we all share," said Gussie Lord, managing attorney of Earthjustice's Tribal Partnerships program. "The Ojibwe's treaty rights guarantee them the ability to coexist with the natural world in the way that they believe is appropriate and necessary to sustain the future generations. Wisconsin does not have exclusive rights here. The state has set the stage for yet another violation of the Ojibwe's treaty rights and we are asking the Court to step in and prevent that from happening." Source EarthJustice press release.
"Our treaties represent a way of life for our tribal people. Eroding and disregarding our treaties is unacceptable. We view violations of our treaty rights as hostile actions against our tribal sovereignty and the very lives of tribal people." – From the declarationof Mike Wiggins, Jr., Chairman, Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.
"What happens to ma'iingan happens to Anishinaabe. What happens to the wolf happens to humanity. That is universal law. The ecosystem is all connected. That is the message the ma'iingan is giving to humanity.  Look at what we are facing today — the fish are dying, the trees are dying, the climate is changing, the water is drying up.  Look at what is going on with the earth — what is taking place. I believe ma'iingan is saying — pay attention." – From the declaration of Marvin DeFoe, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.
"The wolves are part of the ecosystem. The deer herds in Wisconsin are infected with Chronic Wasting Disease. When the wolves see the herd, they take the weak animals to try to keep the herd strong. We need strong deer herds, we need the body of the waawaashkeshi, to feed our families." – From the declaration of Robert VanZile, Chairman, Sokaogon Chippewa Community.
"The Ojibwe that hunt, fish and gather, we take and give back. We are supposed to be looking out for the next seven generations. I try to do that by teaching my grandsons to just take what they need to survive. We teach our children this — when we know it is wrong to hunt, we do not hunt. We take a step back and assess the damage. We determine how we can help so we can have the animals, the plants, the fish, for our future." – From the declaration of John Johnson, Sr., President, Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

Wisconsin Tribes Seek Court Order to Stop November Wolf Hunt
October 1, 2021 Six Ojibwe tribes file motion for preliminary injunction against the state
Madison, WI—EarthJustice is back in court today on behalf of six Ojibwe tribes seeking a preliminary injunction to stop Wisconsin from holding a wolf hunt in November. The motion asks the judge to hold a hearing before the planned hunt slated to begin on Nov. 6.
"This case is about Wisconsin's responsibility to protect and conserve the natural resources we all share," said Gussie Lord, managing attorney of Earthjustice's Tribal Partnerships program. "The Ojibwe's treaty rights guarantee them the ability to coexist with the natural world in the way that they believe is appropriate and necessary to sustain the future generations. Wisconsin does not have exclusive rights here. The state has set the stage for yet another violation of the Ojibwe's treaty rights and we are asking the Court to step in and prevent that from happening."
The Ojibwe word for "wolf" is ma'iingan, for "white-tailed deer" is "waawaashkeshi," and the word to describe the people of the Great Lakes region connected to this culture is Anishinaabe.

To commemorate Wolf Awareness Week, the Timber Wolf Alliance creates an annual poster featuring an award-winning artist's rendering of a wolf or wolves in their natural habitat.
WAW is an opportunity to celebrate all we have learned about wolves and their place in the world, especially here in the Midwest. It is also a reminder of how far we have yet to go to educate those who resist an understanding of wolves that science and the traditional ecological knowledge provides.

Commentary: Killing is Not the Only Choice for Gray Wolf Management
I am posting a commentary By CHARLIE RASMUSSEN, communications director for the Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC), because it makes perfect sense when considering how the tribes Honor their obligations towards the Natural Resources of Wisconsin. I'm going to post the last paragraph of Rasmussen's commentary first because it's the perfect lead for the post:
"Looking ahead to this November ma'iingan season, Ojibwe bands have declared one-half, or 50% of the wolf quota established by the NRB. Wisconsin DNR officials must also account for the 99-wolf overkill that occurred in the runaway February season. The sum of 99 should be subtracted from the state's share of wolves after the tribal declaration. When clerical errors have resulted in walleye overages by Ojibwe spearfishers, lakes are closed to harvest the following season to account for the overage. Tribal managers account for their mistakes. It's well past time the state takes on a similar level of accountability."
The following is the full commentary By CHARLIE RASMUSSEN:
In setting a 300-kill quota, the Natural Resources Board disregarded wishes from tribes and conservationists, and recommendations from the DNR experts.
Six months after Wisconsin wolf packs were left reeling from an unprecedented recreational hunt during the animals' vulnerable breeding season, state officials are pushing forward plans to kill hundreds more wolves in 2021.
At its August meeting, a lame-duck-lead majority of the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board (NRB) made clear that its decision to set the wolf quota at 300 had nothing to do with science or stewardship. Collaboration with Ojibwe bands is absent here as well—an affront to federal court decisions that make up the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Indians v. Wisconsin, or "Voigt" case, which requires the state to coordinate management with tribes in the 1837 and 1842 Ceded Territories.
Wisconsin wolves lost protection under the Endangered Species Act on January 4, 2021. Then, in late February the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) presided over a chaotic wolf hunt in which recreationists killed nearly 100 extra wolves, soaring past a quota limit set at 119 animals. The unprecedented hunt with hounds during the wolf breeding season was so deadly that it had to be shut down after only three days. Fresh snowfalls made for efficient hunting as many tag-holders used dog packs to run down wolves, some of whom were pregnant, across wolf range in the state.
Now, despite calls from Ojibwe tribes to back away from yet another 2021 ma'iingan (Ojibwe Anishinaabe word for "wolf") kill, as well as advice from Wisconsin DNR biologists to set a more moderate fall quota, the NRB demonstrated that its illegitimate holdover majority is bent on driving down the state's wolf population. At a meeting in Milwaukee, members of the board scoffed at the state's own scientific experts for recommending a 130-wolf quota. The board even went so far as to consider a kill goal as high as 504 before settling on 300 wolves. Faced with a science-based analysis, the NRB stumbled through talking points about the need to move the population toward a non-existent population goal in a 22-year old management plan, in order to manipulate the quota. Denying the tribes their share of a science-based quota—thereby undermining Ojibwe bands' treaty rights—appeared to be a priority.
Killing is not the only choice when it comes to managing a quota of natural resources. Each sovereign entity, whether tribal or otherwise, decides how its share is used. While the DNR Board may struggle to comprehend this judicious use, it's a precept the DNR, the agency, understands. For Ojibwe bands, the current sovereign decision is that the best use of wolves comes in the form of live animals, on the land, helping to enhance and maintain healthy ecosystems upon which the tribes depend.
The Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission is an intertribal agency comprised of 11 Ojibwe bands in Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, and Minnesota. GLIFWC works with member bands to both manage and preserve off-reservation treaty reserved resources. Please visit www.glifwc.org for more information.
