"Out of the family's desert dreams" Gish re-creates this enchanting legend of Coyote, who must search across the detrius of modern American life to reclaim the howl that was stolen from him.

Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve (Lakota)
Norman Two Bull has often climbed the sacred butte to search for the agates that he sells at extortionately low rates to the local trader. But when he ascends the butte to fulfill his old grandfather's dream he discovers an ancient coup stick, said by his grandfather to be Wakan (magic) and which - when hung in the Two Bull home - seems to grow brighter every day and ushers in a streak of good luck. The stick's benign magic coincides with, and is an apt metaphor for, Norman's growing pride and faith in the old ways - a change of heart which enables him to confront the cheating trader and refuse to guide a tourist who wants to climb the butte in search of more agates and relics.

Adrian C. Louis (Paiute)
In these 25 pieces, traditional tricksters like Coyote and Raven (from the Northwest Coast) mingle and marry easily with humans. These tricksters possess strong sexual appetites: in "Why Coyote Knotted His Whanger," Coyote ties the eponymous appendage into a knot because it has gotten him into trouble once too often. Characters are often abusive: in "Raven in the Eye of the Storm," the title character constantly shrieks at his wife, whom he considers to have been rendered incompetent by Christianity. Alcohol, prostitution and self-hatred abound . . .
