Synopsis

This volume compiles twenty-one traditional Hopi tales, presented with English translations and original Hopi transcriptions. It offers a unique insight into Hopi language and folklore through the adventures of Coyote, a friendly but foolish character whose missteps serve as valuable lessons. Unlike the formidable trickster of Navajo tradition, the Hopi Coyote is a lovable bumbler, making this collection an amusing and instructive read. This work is a significant contribution to cross-cultural studies, especially when considered alongside other Native American Coyote tales.
