Coyote: The Mediator
Many of us have seen the screwball cartoon antics of Wile E. Coyote, chuckling along to his inventiveness and murky mischief. Pop culture aside, the mythological portrait of the Coyote runs deep, far, and wide. Long revered by today’s Native American’s, carried through centuries old stories, legends and ritual, Coyote’s enduring popularity not only serves an educational purpose but one of lasting profundity.

When you see a Coyote, what do you do?
