Biography

Beverly Hungry Wolf (Siksi-Aki, or Black-faced Woman; born 1950) is a Canadian writer and a member of the Blackfoot Confederacy.

Life

She was born Beverly Little Bear in 1950 near Cardston, Alberta, on Blood Indian Reserve No. 148, and studied at a Catholic residential school on the reserve. The school discouraged interest in her tribe's traditions, but, as an adult, she started investigating and recording them after she married a German man, Adolph Gutöhrlein. Gutöhrlein was fascinated with First Nations' culture, having immersed himself in it and adopting the surname Hungry Wolf.

Along with her husband, Hungry Wolf has published a number of books about her personal and her people's experiences. She interviewed her female relatives and tribal elders, collecting information about gender roles, domestic arts, child rearing, myths and legends, which she published in Ways of my Grandmothers (1980). Her interview subjects included her grandmother, Anada-Aki, her aunt, Mary One Spot, and tribal elder, Paula Weasel Head.

She and her husband live in British Columbia and have five children.
