Coyote Story

This is the legend of how the Indian “Two Ears” received his name. It started when he was a young boy about 13 years of age. He was going on his vision quest to become a man. He needed to bring something of value back to the elders of his tribe. He left before dawn one morning to set out on his long journey to become recognized by his tribe. He was a spindly young man …

…shocked by what had just happened and howled in pain. Then blinded by rage for having been tricked him self, he slowly came back to his senses. Drawing his composure the coyote patiently tracked the boy back to the village, and stood at the entrance, waiting for him to come back out. To this day the coyote Lokinamet is still poised in our school to pounce on the young boy named “Two Ears.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
