Storytelling Sunday: Coyote's Sky
Emily Hennessey sparks Storytelling Sunday into life for the month of May with an evening of wild and wonderful Coyote tales from the First Nations of North America...
Old Man Coyote, the great Native American trickster, has a head full of questions. Big Questions. Questions for the Creator. He crosses from one end of the world to the other, traverses the sky, and delves into the Land of the Dead seeking answers.
On his journey, Coyote - wise, cunning, brutal and brilliant - avenges his death, vomits up his sisters and sticks Crow, Bear and Owl in the stars, all the while wreaking havoc, creating wonder and laughing as he goes along.
