Apparently when he was 17, a wolf entered into his tent asking for his help & that situation must have affected him deeply leaving him feel that the wolf is his “kaima”, - name brother - (he says it “kaimi" or “gaimi”).
Very good – so there
was a real personal story behind his wolf joik one
can relate to.
