Speak for WolvesFeaturing special guest Sheila Hollow Horn, lead actor
Join us for the final event of the conference, a screening of the short film Almost Ancestors, followed by Q&A with the film’s lead actor, Sheila Hollow Horn, and Erin Hunt, Managing Director of Lobos of the Southwest.
Presented in the Hopi language with English subtitles, Almost Ancestors was filmed in Arizona, where a Hopi cultural advisor on set ensured the cultural accuracy of the story. The powerful film will educate viewers on the displacement of lobos and indigenous cultures and inspire them to help alter the ramifications of history.
Host: Erin Hunt, Managing Director, Lobos of the Southwest
Erin Hunt has worked with critically endangered Mexican gray wolves for 15 years. Prior to joining the staff of Lobos of the Southwest, she helped manage a conservation facility that was one of the largest participants in the Mexican Wolf Saving Animals From Extinction (SAFE) program, the captive breeding program for Mexican wolves. Erin served on the Management Group for this program and helped with education and outreach, animal care, fundraising, and staff management. In addition to her work at the conservation center, she also managed a fund dedicated to reducing wolf-livestock conflict, protecting wild Mexican wolves and supporting the communities where wolves are returning through proactive, non-lethal solutions. Now, being part of Lobos of the Southwest offers an exciting opportunity to continue supporting Mexican wolf recovery through outreach and advocacy. Erin grew up in Southern California with a passion for animals and nature and now lives in San Diego, CA. Working with wolves, and the people living with them, is a way for her to give back to an interconnected global community, helping people, animals, and the environment along the way.
