Twenty years with wolves: The Last Howl is now on The Green Channel
On September 4, President Trump signed an executive order directing the US Interior Department to decide whether gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves should come off the federal endangered species list. Five days later, a Canadian film about two brothers who spent twenty years with wolves starts streaming on The Green Channel. The film is […]

Today the […]

A few years ago, I sat in an Ashéninka Indigenous community in the Peruvian Amazon, invited to listen, not as a researcher with answers, but as someone learning how to understand what “respect” truly means for them. It was not a word. It was a way of relating. Years later, in conversation with Mark Wedge, […]
