I Just Learned Something New Tonight, My Aunt Commented On My Coyote Encounter Post & This Is What She Wrote :I love Coyotes--see them all the time around my neighborhood which borders Green Mountain hiking trails. They dont usually bother people--not very hospitable to small pets though. We see deer, fox, racoons, coyotes and an occasional mountain lion or lost bear. There was a huge cat screaching out in the green belt behind my house one night. Now that scared me to the core!!! In native american folklure, the Coyote is the trickster who can teach us important lessons about our own character. The Cunning Survivalist Reality drives the portrayal of Coyote in stories. Coyotes are often seen rummaging for food and do not appear to be very successful. They are often scrawny and emaciated, missing patches of fur, but still they survive. This image is part of the inspiration that the Native American peoples saw in the coyote. The animal’s cunning and craft became a symbol for Natives’ own perseverance, showing that living off the land was built into them. The admirable qualities seen in this animal have often earned him the most central role in Native American stories. Not only is Coyote The Trickster, but also the one who never has enough— who can only obtain what he needs by constantly striving for things outside of his control. Through this struggle, we can see ourselves in the coyote Thank You For Sharing That Aunt Kathy :-) Kathleen Garrett I Love It!
