Wolves figure prominently in the mythology of nearly every Native American tribe. In most Native cultures, Wolf is considered a medicine being associated with courage, strength, loyalty, and success at hunting. Like bears, wolves are considered closely related to humans by many North American tribes, and the origin stories of some Northwest Coast tribes, such as the Quileute and the Kwakiutl, tell of their first ancestors being transformed from wolves into men. The Zunis carve stone wolf fetishes for protection, ascribing to them both healing and hunting powers. Wolves are also one of the most common clan animals in Native American cultures. Wolf was an important clan crest on the Northwest Coast and can often be found carved on totem poles.
