THE TRADITION
IS IN OUR BLOOD
Canada and China Indigenous and Grassland Cultural Association is a non-profit organization based in Calgary.
The Logo is specially designed to express our strong desire to connect the Canadian Indigenous people with the Chinese Grassland people. For both cultures, we use horse as the shared symbol for the nature of Indigenous and Grassland life. The green ribbon represents the river that provide excellent habitat for our livings. As for the abbreviation of the association full name, we put a maple leaf on top of letter “A”, which means we are an organization focusing on building, fostering, and maintaining the trust between Canadian Indigenous and Chinese Grassland people.

Our Story
The Origin
French Director Mr. Jean-Jacques Annaud is introducing his movie Wolf Totem at Strasbourg in 2015.
A Mongolian Wolf
In Inner Mongolia, the wolf is seen as a spirit animal whereas the dog is seen as a family member. Inner Mongolians do not fear the wolf and understand that it is afraid of humans. It is sometimes called “the sheep’s assassin”. In legend, the Mongolian herders’ first father was a wolf from which they had descended, and yet they are required to kill wolves to protect their flocks of sheep.
Wolf Totem
Wolf Totem (Chinese: 狼图腾, French: Le Dernier Loup) is a 2015 drama film based on the 2004 Chinese semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Jiang Rong.
Directed by French director Jean-Jacques Annaud, the Chinese-French co-production features a Chinese student who is sent to Inner Mongolia to teach shepherds and instead learns about the wolf population, which is under threat by a government apparatchik.
The filmmakers used real Mongolian wolves (Canis lupus chanco) for the film. They hired Scottish animal trainer Andrew Simpson to raise and train the wolves, which ultimately numbered 35.
Since China has a dwindling wolf population, the government did not allow any wolves to leave. Simpson moved from his ranch in Canada to China to train the wolves to sit, snarl, and fight on cue.
After filming, the wolves were ultimately relocated to Canada since they only understood commands in English.
