There are Eighteen men and one woman in the group. These Customs Service agents are Native Americans. Yet, special members of the United States Customs Service use them to find and arrest people who try to sell illegal drugs. These skills have disappeared in most of the modern world.

The ancient hunter-gatherers of the world learned to follow the signs or marks left on the ground as animals moved along a path. Their hunting skills were extremely important.

They survived by hunting wild animals and gathering kinds of food that were not easily found. Once again, the Shadow Wolf hunters of the United States Customs Service have been successful.įor thousands of years, people were hunter-gatherers. They are arrested for trying to bring illegal drugs into the United States. The five men are captured within an hour. The Shadow Wolf slowly pulls out his radio and calls for help. Moments later, in the far distance, a group of birds suddenly flies away from the ground. Soon, he can tell that the five men are running. The Shadow Wolf increases his own speed across the dry, hot desert. The Shadow Wolf knows this person is the group’s leader. They are not yet running, but they are moving as fast as their heavy loads permit. He can also tell they are moving quickly. He can tell that five men passed this way.

Today we visit the desert of the American Southwest to learn about a group of people called the Shadow Wolves.Ī Shadow Wolf is hunting.
