Synopsis

Summary

In a pack of grey wolves, new pups have just begun to open their eyes, one of which is a striking black female. Every day, her ears grow larger, her eyesight gets sharper, and her legs stretch farther. As she learns to hunt, play, and run with her pack, instinct pulls her to explore beyond her home territory. Will the young wolf’s bold spirit help her find a new pack of her very own? Learn about the life cycle of grey wolves, the traditions of the Gitxsan, and how these magnificent canines contribute to the health of their entire ecosystem.
