In this project I examine relationships between humans and wolves in North America and Australia based on the stories about and from Indigenous peoples. These stories generally indicate great respect for and recognition of the ecological roles of wolves, and this attitude almost certainly results from an ancient kinship. Europeans identify more with the domesticated form of wolves, domestic dogs, which are kept by millions of people in North America and are the one species domesticated by virtually every culture on the planet. In the 1990's it was established through analysis of DNA that domestic dogs and gray wolves are essentially the same species, with dogs simply being domestic varieties of Canis lupus, which was the first species domesticated by humans. Wolves share a similar family structure to humans and accept joining human groups more easily than species that do not live in large extended social groups, such as jackals or coyotes, C. latrans. Humans learned early in their evolutionary history of benefits of sharing their lives and settlements with wolves, which suggest that wolves may even have had a role in shaping human social structures and ecological niches. The role of dingoes in the lives of Aboriginal peoples is characterized as a commensal relationship in which humans greatly benefit from their association with dingoes while hunting, and provides a relatively recent model for the general relationship between Homo sapiens and Canis lupus. The dingoes used by Aboriginals are neither domestic nor wild because many return to the bush after being raised in Aboriginal camps with humans. This is evidence of the bond that humans have had with animals that today would be considered wild rather than domestic. In order to support this claim I examined the way dogs and wolves have been described in the archaeological record. It is nearly impossible to distinguish between an early dog and wolf using only the skeletal record. However, the skeletal record does show that wolves living with humans only began to change physically into what we now consider dogs within the last 15,000 years or so which means that the relationship humans had with their canid companions prior to them being considered domestic animals was actually with wolves.

520 $a In order to complete this project I have read several accounts from tribes located in North America and in Australia. I have also examined how the wolf is represented in European stories in order to compare this portrayal to that of Indigenous peoples. The stories I examined about the Aboriginal people were then compared to the relationship that Native Americans have had with wolves. I have also chosen to include several figures in the form of rock art, paintings, and photographs to show how these relationships are depicted in forms besides written or oral stories.
