As sedentary planters, the Hopis tended to reduce Coyote to the level of a laughable fool. In these tales Coyote is a friendly bumbler whose mistakes teach listeners what tricks to avoid. Time after time he is hurt or killed for failing to understand a situation correctly. The collection is as amusing as animal fables should be, as simply told, and as instructive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished as a companion volume to Father Berard Haile's \u003ci\u003eNavajo Coyote Tales\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHopi Coyote Tales\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable contribution to cross-cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume brings together twenty-one traditional tales recently retold by Hopi narrators.
