Cecil Carter demonstrating Coyote Stories with string Item Info

In the old days they used to tell stories with string. The story was about Coyote. Coyote’s tipi is not too big. That is Coyote’s tipi. He was inside working on his regalia like that. Trying out pieces of his regalia. He was in a hurry putting up his tipi so the story goes that while he was inside working on his regalia a wind storm came and took his tipi down. It collapsed on him.

Another story goes that Coyote got caught, he got tied up like that and they tied his head and legs together but he could still get loose. Then they tied him up a different way, they thought well we’ll tie him a little tighter this way. Then they really cinched it down so it was real tight but he still was able to get loose. Yeah they used to tell a lot of stories.

Then they told about the Coyote meeting the Fox up on the hill. It is supposed to be something like that. Coyote and the Fox were talking away in a distance and then they parted company. Do you remember that one?
