Description
Excerpt from Myths and Legends of the Pacific Northwest: Especially of Washington and Oregon
The adventures of Coyote, like those of Yehl, the Raven, of Alaska, are so many that no one could tell them all. Professor F. S. Lyman, however, groups them around three or four main heads: the theft of fire, the destruction of monsters, the making of waterfalls, and the teaching of useful arts to the Indians.
Now the animal people lived before the days of the first grandfather, long, long ago, when the sun was new and no larger than a star, when the earth was young, and the tall firs of the forest no larger than an arrow. These were the days of the animal people. People had not come out yet.
