Until You Walk The Path, You Won’t Know Where it Goes is hosting author, archaeologist and animal activist, Dr Catherine Feher-Elston on January 12 at 1 pm eastern as she talks about the misconceptions about wolves by those who are fighting to destroy them.

She has lived and worked among many of the world’s indigenous peoples, including Montana’s Northern Cheyenne, where she chaired the Chief Dull Knife College communications division and founded the Little Wolf Writing and History Center.

Her involvement with wolves started in the 1990s, when her work in journalism brought her to the Mogollon Rim country of Arizona and New Mexico. She covered Mexican wolf reintroduction. Among her interests is wildlife rehabilitation. As Fate dictated, a wolf cub with a defective liver came into her life. She cared for Mowgli for two years before his condition took his life. As a result, she wrote Wolfsong, in an effort to share the facts about wolves with the world. Research for Wolfsong included spending time in the Yellowstone Country.
