It's interesting that the Quileutes illustrate this procedure of transformation, having descended as a people from wolves who were … [Read More...]

Even though the stories of the Quileute might be published in books, … [Read More...]

Quileute legend may contain on occasion customary customs of day-to-day life and even comprise spiritual or mythic elements.
