    Arizona News – The Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project will host a special event featuring the traditional Diné/Navajo winter story about leadership and the wisdom of the wolf (Mai Tso) told by storyteller and folklorist Sunny Dooley at the Shrine of the Ages auditorium at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on Tuesday, March 28, 2023, at 7 pm. Appropriate for all ages, this Navajo tale shares culturally grounded lessons of leadership and demonstrates that nature is a powerful teacher for humankind. This event is free and open to the public with Grand Canyon National Park admission.

    Sunny Dooley, a well-known and gifted Diné/Navajo storyteller, will tell the story in English, unfolding in rich and entertaining detail how two mammals, two birds, and an instigator insect changed the world by bringing integrity to leadership and a voice to all the people.

    March 29, 2023, marks the 25th anniversary of the first release of endangered Mexican gray wolves back into the wild in Arizona. While no known wolves live around the Grand Canyon, it was once a part of their historic habitat in the southwest and is an important place that provides suitable habitat for their eventual return. As of the last official population count for the end of 2022, there are 241 Mexican gray wolves in the wilds of Arizona and New Mexico today.

    According to Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project’s Executive Director Emily Renn, the 25th anniversary of the reintroduction program and a wolf population having gone from zero to now over 200 individuals in the wild are major milestones worth celebrating.  She says, “We’re excited to hear Sunny share this positive traditional tale, reminding us of the important role of wolves, and evoking their presence in the places they are returning, both on the landscape and in our lives.”

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
