The Karankawa Tribe of Texas Five Rivers Council leaned on the wisdoms and teachings of The Coyote Clan for this incredible collaboration with Colossal Labs.

Not without intense debate, Colossal worked alongside other Indigenous reps, artists, and activists to continue (and succeed) in the de-extinction work of the Dire Wolf, alongside the way aiding with the revival of our precious Relation, the Ghost Wolf, also known as the Red Wolf.

The Karankawa Peoples and the Red Wolf do have much in common. Both being called extinct. Both being forcefully moved off of their homelands through violence and loss of natural habitat. Both going through a crucial conservation stage. Both changing history and, despite all odds, pushing forward on their path.

A warm welcome is extended to Neka Kayda (Ghost Daughter) the Red Wolf as she begins to create a new path for all of those who follow her. It is with extreme humility, excitement, and eagerness that we share this news with you the public and with you the Karankawa People. It is thanks to all of your support that we were able to aid in this collaboration.

Plah bewwus (thank you).

The Karankawa Tribe of Texas has recently concluded its 2nd annual E’wee Hoh’k (Tribal Gathering/ Come Together) where, over the course of 3 days, different clan members, reconnecting relatives, and elders had the opportunity to meet, share their wisdoms and insights, as well as celebrate the long tenacity and endurance of the Karankawa People.

Plah bewwus (thank you) to all who showed. For those who were unable to attend, we know you were there in spirit!

At the E’wee Hoh’k the tribe went over several important topics relating to Tribal Unity and Future Building. Shared cultural workshops, offered a lecture, passed down oral stories on navigation and creation, and enjoyed the ancestral (and contemporary) homeland.

If you are Karankawa, or reconnecting, and are interested in attending the next one, please keep an eye out for posts here at karankawas.com or on our Instagram KarankawaTribeofTexas:

Until next time! T’cha awa messus (See you soon)!
