About Us

Defend The Wolves and Wildlife Rescue Project:

The Defend the Wolves and Wildlife Rescue Project is the foundation of the First Nations Outreach Projects Environmental programs.

The Wolf rescue project is nine years old and currently houses thirty-eight wolves. Right now, the Rescue Project is kicking off a massive Wildlife and Environmental campaign. The program extends to several areas of wildlife and conservation.

1.	Rescue and restoration of wolves. While the majority of wolves saved by the Rescue Project are captive-raised and can never be released into the wild, the Rescue Project believes it is imperative to provide Wolf Education in areas of release or proposed release. Pre-education in these areas is indeed crucial to the future success of wolf restoration.
2.	Local and National Wolf and Wildlife Education programs directed at K thru 12 grade-school students as well as University level students. As well as community based education programs.
3.	Rescue of Endangered, Protected and At-Risk Species; The Rescue Project is expanding to the rescue of bears, cougars, small animals and any other wildlife rehab and rescue that may be needed in the areas where our Organization will have access to these animals. Included in this project is also a Raptor Rehab and rescue program as well.
4.	The wolf and Wildlife Rescue Project is also seeking ways to restore, develop or improve Wildlife habitat. This will include purchasing land for habitat, as well as improving and developing habitat on these properties. Reforestation is a primary goal in this area. The Rescue Project will seek to return the areas of wildlife habitat to as near indigenous for that area as possible. Wild life rehab is of little effect without proper habitat. In many cases in controlled areas, captive raised wildlife may be reintroduced into certain controlled habitats and gain the skills to survive on their own. While this is not particularly an area that draws strong support from some researchers, it is an area which the Rescue has indeed enjoyed small successes in the past and will develop programs to improve efforts in this area. as well as reforestation.
5.	The Rescue Project will also seek to restore all natural fauna as well as any wetlands that may fall into our management areas.
6.	The overall mission of the First Nations Outreach Project is to help restore the balance between man and nature to as great a degree as possible. Knowing that the resources of the earth must last mankind forever, it is important to develop a singular spiritual bond between Man, Earth and the Creatures who share the earth with us.

Defend The Wolves

Defend The Wolves is the Wolf Rescue Project Supported and owned by the First Nations Outreach project.

For centuries humans have sought to extinguish the Wolf People. Not because the Wolf is dangerous, but because of man's perception of danger. The facts are simple. Wolves have never sought to remove humans from the earth and have never committed crimes against humanity.

It is not the wolf that is the criminal. It is Man.

Consider the loss of the the earth's many creatures. Creatures who were lost simply because of the greed of man. The conflict between man and wolf is not due to the efforts or actions of the wolf. It is man who has created this conflict. Yet is it not man who declares that all the world should live at peace? Yet how can the Wolf People live at peace when they are being murdered by Man?

We are embarking on a new journey. We believe that rescue alone is not enough. We must find ways to do more. We believe that for our efforts to have a lasting effect we must also find ways to establish, re-establish and obtain land to create habitat for endangered species. We are currently working on expanding the Defend the Wolves Rescue into the Defend The Wolves and Wildlife Rescue. We hope to soon add cougars and bears as well as smaller wildlife to the rescue list. Not only endangered and at-risk wildlife, but we also hope to rehab all wildlife in our area. Many times we see animals that could be saved, yet we have little hope of saving them without additional means to do so. We desperately need your assistance in these efforts. So please help us in any way you can. Even if it is only to spread the word of our site to others who care. Your efforts as always are sincerely appreciated.

We are also working to improve our on-site volunteer program. If you are interested in on-site volunteer work please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Our Goals and Projects

First Nations Outreach Project Program Goals:

To provide Outreach Programs that will help to solidify the First Nations Communities culturally, economically, socially, and educationally. Many First Nations People are leaving the Reservations to find work that will better provide for their families. As a result, the children of these families often lose touch with their culture, language, history and spirituality. It is our hope to develop programs that will keep them connected to their Tribes.

To channel funding to other organizations which provide services to First Nations Communities. Health Programs, Educational Programs, Cultural programs, Spiritual Programs.

To develop community Relations. We seek to develop unity between the many Nations and to create an understanding of the similarities in Spiritual and Cultural beliefs among as many Nations as possible.

To educate the general public about the importance of the connection that Humans have with:

	a)	The Earth
	b)	The Creatures of the Earth
	c)	Each Other

through programs provided by those authorized by each of the representative Nations. Programs designed and established under the guidance of Tribal Elders from different Nations will help to prevent Traditional Spirituality from being used by others to deceive people which results in reduced trust between Nations, as well as between Indians on and off the reservations.

To properly connect disconnected Indians who need guidance with Tribal Teachers and Elders. We hope to develop social programs that will help Indians outside the circle to learn from those who are able to share the Traditional ways, as well as encourage those on Reservations that have become disconnected from Tradition to find Spiritual Strength in their Culture. And to restore Self Esteem to many who have lost their identities in a new world society.

To assess the needs and develop whatever methods are required to help fill the needs of First Nations Communities. We seek to assess the needs of each Nation individually, as each Nation's needs vary. By doing so we feel that the Spiritual, Economic and Social needs of each community will be best served for that individual community.

For over a decade now, we have been rescuing wolves and wolf/dog hybrids. Because of the increased demand we are no longer able to accept new wolf/dogs at the current time.

Animals that come to our Rescue Center have been raised in captivity and are therefore not likely to be good candidates for wild release. This means they must live out their lives with us.

We have plans for expanding our rescue efforts to include cougars, bears and raptors. We also will rehab other wildlife indigenous to our area.

We believe that simply rescuing and rehabbing animals alone is not enough. We must be able to create, protect and restore habitat for wildlife in order to safeguard their future survival. In order to do this we will have to develop a close-knit group of experts in a number of areas who are willing to donate some of their time to help build a program which will be successful the first time out. Unfortunately we do not have 50 years to find out we got it wrong and need to start over. The animals and our planet can not wait that long!

To do this we will need your help, in every way you can:
• We need help to spread the word about our web site, so please link to us!
• We need help in search engine submission

• If you would like to send money, please donot send cash. Send money orders, checksor you can use the paypal buttons on our donation page. Any amount will begratefully accepted. We can and will sendyou a letter which will make your donation tax deductible.

Remember that Wildlife rehab and rescue can not be done by any individual or group alone. It requires the joint efforts of many people together.
