фольклор

A creature of myth and magic emerging from the mist-shrouded forests of the Northwest, Coyote appears as a creator, messenger, hero, trickster, fool or shapeshifter. Always on the lookout for fun, mischief or the opportunity to help humans, Coyote&apos;s encounters with gods, demons and the supernatural bring to life the rich cultural traditions of the Northwest peoples:
<br/>
Coyote pierces the sky with his arrow and, with the help of Fox, steals fire from the people in the clouds
Trapped inside a large cedar tree, Coyote takes himself apart, putting each body part through an opening in the bark of the tree, then reassembles himself outside
<br/>
Coyote helps Wolf rescue his wife from her kidnapper, the Great Whale
Once Coyote finished his work on earth, the Great Spirit placed him in a deep slumber; when the world needs him again, he will reappear and render his unique brand of mischief and spiritual rescue.

Thomas Bettany George
