The story of the Two Wolves is a popular legend of unknown exact origin, but usually associated with the Cherokee. The legend is a story of a grandfather or elder using a metaphor of two wolves fighting within him to explain inner conflicts to his grandson, or other young person. When the young person asks which wolf wins, the grandfather answers "whichever one you feed". While many variations of the story exist: replacing wolves with dogs, or changing the nature of the conflict, the usual conflict uses imagery of white vs black and good vs evil. With the usually falsified origin stories that surround it, it is generally considered to be fakelore.
