How the Red ‘Ghost’ Wolf Became the Totem Animal of the Karankawa

This is the unlikely yet profound story of the Karankawa people and the Red ‘Ghost’ Wolf, bound together by time, space, and—some might say—fate. It’s a fascinating chapter of the larger Colossal dire wolf de-extinction project. The Karankawa are a Native American tribe from the Texas Gulf Coast, among the first to encounter European explorers—an encounter that decimated their population. Yet, despite centuries of hardship, they endure, fighting for recognition and survival. At the same time, the ancient DNA of the Red Wolf, the world’s most endangered wolf species, was discovered in hybrid coyotes roaming from Louisiana to the Texas coast, the very lands the Karankawa call home. Led by Colossal scientific advisor Bridgett vonHoldt, this breakthrough offers a rare chance to restore lost genetic diversity and reshape the future of red wolf conservation. And that’s exactly what Colossal did, cloning the first Red ‘Ghost’ Wolf. Now, these two stories of survival intertwine. In a profound act of unity, the Karankawa bestowed a sacred name upon the first cloned Red ‘Ghost’ Wolf—Neka Kayda, meaning “Ghost Daughter.” This ceremony serves as a bridge between past and future, tradition and innovation, and offers hope for a world where neither the Karankawa nor the red wolf fade into history.
