Thousands of years ago Native people in the West chose, among all
the possibilities, the coyote as the deity animal in their
various stories of North America’s creation. Then they proceeded
to fashion thousands of stories around “Old Man America,” the
oldest literary figure in America. Long described as a Trickster,
the deity Coyote actually was a human avatar whose stories richly
conveyed human nature in both its admirable and not-so-admirable
forms. As part coyote and part human, deity Coyote stands in a
progression of human gods, one whose insights into human nature
have allowed him to survive into the modern age.
