The nature of Coyote revealed,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Zuņi Coyote Tales (Paperback)
This is a collection compiled by Frank Hamilton Cushing. Cushing (1857-1900) lived with the Zuñi and collected many stories that are part of their myths and way of thinking. "Zuñi Coyote Tales" is a selection from His larger collection "Zuñi Folk Tales".
Each tail pits the Coyote against a different critter or deity. As the story progresses we get a better understanding of Coyote and a lesson learned. Even thought this is a standalone book it is more dynamic if you know something of the Zuñi culture and history. A reoccurring theme is that Coyote is very a very nosy trickster and it is best to keep your nose to your self. A note for the squeamish, as with many folk tails some parts are painfully violent. |
