     Hunters and gathers always give respect to these
teachers of the hunt, and it doesn't always have to be
particularly wolves.  Beavers give pots and water bags
in the northeast of america.  Its' not people, but
beavers that gave and taught the beaver-people how. 
Beaver-people as in people close to beavers, so close
in fact they saw themselves as kin, and this is how
the story goes.  Like today.  Ever hear of dog-people.
 That is people who like dogs.  People who have dogs
for pets and are very caring and friendly with these
animals.

     Exactly.  The same definition I've been giving
all along.  Not seeing what the disagreement is. 
Shake hands and notice and experience social activity.
 I gave definitions straight out of the anthro's
textbook, too.
