"We who lived the days of tribal life before our destruction began to remember with gratefulness our storytellers and the delight and joy and richness which they imparted to our lives. We never tired of their tales, though told countless times. They will, forsooth, never grow old, for they have within them the essence of things that cannot grow old. These legends are of America, as are its mountains, rivers, and forests, and as are its people. They belong!" In the time of the Animal People (Chip-chap-tiqulk), follow the adventures of Coyote (Sin-ka-lip') the most important Animal Person that ever was. Put to work by the Spirit Chief, Coyote-despite his love for imitation and trickery-helps to make the world a good place to live for Animal People and New People alike while occasionally amusing himself with mischief. Containing over two dozen tales from, "The Spirit Chief Names the Animal People," to "Coyote Imitates Bear and Kingfisher," Coyote Stories is Mourning Dove's collections of legends recounting the history of the world in it's youth. Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of Coyote Stories is a classic of Native and Indigenous literature reimagined for the modern reader.
