HasnaHOST
I think I was mentioned in one of the books where Coyote walks both worlds so I think that's an element where she gets from him from like from the powers that she gets so and also it's almost like she assists the dead to pass over.
HasnaHOST
There's already examples of that in the books where I think that might have been the main ability for a lot of walkers who were descended from Coyote because I don't think a lot of the walkers share the same kind of power or abilities and I think that's the main ability that's manifested in her.
HasnaHOST
I still think that she's not manifested a lot of power full abilities from Coyote.
LindaHOST
Yeah.
LindaHOST
And I mean, Paddy has mentioned like in, you know, Rivermarked with Hank and with his brother that, you know, they could see ghosts, but they didn't want to see ghosts.

blocked, yeah.
LindaHOST
Yeah, so, I mean, he unfortunately was a prisoner until his demise.
Orson WellesVOICE_ACTOR
We'd know them anywhere and call them easily by name.
Orson WellesVOICE_ACTOR
Punch and the Charlies, Chaplin and McCarthy, Coyote, Sir John, and Sherlock Holmes.
Orson WellesVOICE_ACTOR
Now irrelevant as this may seem, we of the Mercury Theatre are very much occupied these days with rehearsals for a revival of a fine old American farce a lot of you will remember, if only for its lovely title, which is Too Much Johnson.
Orson WellesVOICE_ACTOR
Its author was William Gillette, which reminded us, as it reminds you, of Sherlock Holmes.
Mandi EmHOST
This is the trickster archetype.
Mandi EmHOST
So across mythology, we have Loki, we have Anansi, we have Coyote, Hermes.
Mandi EmHOST
The trickster is a figure who tends to break rules, causes chaos, and forces transformation nobody really asked for.
Mandi EmHOST
Jungian thought often reads the trickster archetype as just one face that the shadow wears.
Mattias DesmetGUEST
That's what we lack in our society in the first place.
Christopher MottGUEST
There's a mythological figure in many tribes of Native American cultures called Coyote.
Christopher MottGUEST
It's a kind of formula anthropomorphized Coyote figure.
Christopher MottGUEST
Coyote is a trickster.
Christopher MottGUEST
Everywhere he goes, he messes things up, but in a way that's enlightening.
Christopher MottGUEST
You always learn by what he does whether he fails or succeeds.
Christopher MottGUEST
He always overturns the complacent assumptions of whatever is hegemonic and where he's passing through.
Christopher MottGUEST
In this case, I think Coyote is a very, very good social scientist.
ClancyPastaNARRATOR
Although there was no chance of me glimpsing Jenna...

Meanwhile, through the minute speakers on either side of the screen, we heard the mixed group double choir's harmonic chanting to Coyote.
ClancyPastaNARRATOR
Despite the mundane, secondhand way I was hearing it, the music was still evocative and beautiful.
ClancyPastaNARRATOR
At least I could still get some of the majesty of the opera from this experience.
Larry HancockGUEST
Um, here, the, here's the difference, again, reaching into some indigenous history.
Larry HancockGUEST
We have an entity called Coyote-
Alan SteinfeldHOST
Mm-hmm
Larry HancockGUEST
... which also comes after American indigenous.
Larry HancockGUEST
Coyote is virtually just wants to fool you, to embarrass you-
Alan SteinfeldHOST
Mm
Larry HancockGUEST
... to make you look stupid, make you feel bad about yourself, make other people feel bad.
Larry HancockGUEST
So Coyote's activity's really he's a ga- games player.

Larry HancockGUEST
Coyote is... virtually just wants to fool you, to embarrass you, to make you look stupid, make you feel bad about yourself, make other people feel bad.
Larry HancockGUEST
So Coyote's activities, really he's a game player.
Larry HancockGUEST
He probably should have been named Trickster, but Coyote is generally negative because the meme is he's always lurking and he's always willing to do something to embarrass you and make you look stupid and feel bad.
Larry HancockGUEST
Trickster, on the other hand, will lead you into a situation let's say it's a a social relationship situation where you've you've been hurting people you've been embarrassed you've been doing what coyote does trickster will play a trick on you and show you know that that's the whole point of trickster he will make the last thing i
Alan SteinfeldHOST
mean so we can learn from our own behavior and that's exactly what in line with what the UFOs are doing to give us more the lessons that we are learning.
Lyla June JohnstonGUEST
And so the songs that the harpists carried were about self-love, were about love for the land.
Lyla June JohnstonGUEST
And so Coyote has very deliberately tried to rob us of our cultural compasses that taught us these things.
Lyla June JohnstonGUEST
And so we're in a period of reclamation and recuperating and reclaiming These things which many of us are reclaiming through intuition.
Lyla June JohnstonGUEST
Because we don't, like you said, we don't have those elders.

Lyla June JohnstonGUEST
But the truth is, and there's so many cultures that prove this, they just don't get enough airtime.
Lyla June JohnstonGUEST
is that we profoundly belong on this earth, and that Creator doesn't make things on accident.
Lyla June JohnstonGUEST
It's just that, if you ask my elders, Coyote has taken the beautiful nature of humanity, which is inherently wired to love.
Lyla June JohnstonGUEST
So many studies have proven this.
Norma WongHOST
Mm-hmm.
Lori Tazbah TapahonsoGUEST
But they take on that role, and for us as, as Navajos, um, which is, are the stories that I'm, I'm most familiar with and, and, and, um, carry, um, and, and love, um, he is Coyote.
Norma WongHOST
Mm-hmm.
Lori Tazbah TapahonsoGUEST
So my, my...
Lori Tazbah TapahonsoGUEST
Just a real quick thing.
Lori Tazbah TapahonsoGUEST
My grandpa used to say we used to watch Wile E. Coyote-
Norma WongHOST
Uh-huh
