Guest Opinion. Water is life. No one understood this better than former Principal Chief Wilma Mankiller and Charlie Soap.

Guest Opinion. The Dire Wolf is said to have become extinct about 10,000 years ago. It was a true North American carnivore, unlike the Eurasian wolf that we have today. Its prey was bison, horses, mastadons, camels, sloths and other extinct animals, which led to its own extinction.
