Download or read book Coyote Fights the Sun written by Mary J Carpelan and published by . This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing that spring has arrived, Coyote tells his daughters to throw out all the winter food and gather fresh spring greens. But here in the Mount Shasta area, it is "one of those early springs that come in March, and later it snows again before real summer comes." Left without food because of his own folly, Coyote of course blames the sun for coming out too early, and he sets out to shoot it. This is the classic Coyote of western Native America -- all possible foolishness rolled up in one furry, greedy, impulsive, heedless, too-smart-for-his-own-good animal person. In Coyote Fights the Sun, Mary Carpelan has presented the story as her Shasta Indian grandfather used to tell it to her, along with lovingly executed watercolor paintings that evoke the beauty, drama, and isolation of a Quartz Valley winter. Children who read this picture book will be amused by Coyote's trials, and adults will be intrigued and comforted to find this authentic expression of our ancient native heritage.

Download or read book American Indian Trickster Tales written by Richard Erdoes and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the characters in myths and legends told around the world, it's the wily trickster who provides the real spark in the action, causing trouble wherever he goes. This figure shows up time and again in Native American folklore, where he takes many forms, from the irascible Coyote of the Southwest, to Iktomi, the amorphous spider man of the Lakota tribe. This dazzling collection of American Indian trickster tales, compiled by an eminent anthropologist and a master storyteller, serves as the perfect companion to their previous masterwork, American Indian Myths and Legends. American Indian Trickster Tales includes more than one hundred stories from sixty tribes--many recorded from living storytellers—which are illustrated with lively and evocative drawings. These entertaining tales can be read aloud and enjoyed by readers of any age, and will entrance folklorists, anthropologists, lovers of Native American literature, and fans of both Joseph Campbell and the Brothers Grimm.

Download or read book Californian Indian Nights written by Gwendoline Harris Block and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The rereading of these folklore selections in this attractively printed volume underscores again the uniqueness of California mythology. . . . The tales that make up the mythology there are not the worn stand-bys of the world; these tales from the Pacific coast have a freshness of invention that one discovers all too seldom in collections of folklore. They are surprisingly indige-nous."--Ruth Benedict, American Anthropologist. "The volume is organized in such a way that it will be useful to students of literature as well as to students of anthropology, but the authors have not sacrificed accuracy and the critical use of their material in order to produce any kind of spurious picturesqueness. The volume is well gotten up and attractively illustrated."--Margaret Mead, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. "This is a most laudable attempt to make available to a general laity a representative collection of Californian Indian myths and tales."--Truman Michelson, American Historical Review. The compilers, Edward W. Gifford and Gwendoline Harris Block, were both associated with the University of California, Berkeley, Gifford as a professor of anthropology and director of the Museum of Anthropology and Block as an editor in the Department of Anthropology. Albert L. Hurtado, who provided an introduction for the Bison Book edition, is an associate professor of history at Arizona State University and the author of Indian Survival on the California Borderland Frontier, 1819?60 (1988), winner of the Ray A. Billington Prize for American frontier history.
