Rabbit's Short Tail is a Cherokee trickster story told by Gregg Howard. The video was recorded with an audience of children and parents, and was uploaded onto YouTube.com on June 13, 2007 to gain attention for the DVDs of other performances sold on a website. Accompanying Gregg in his performance is an unnamed flute player who accompanies him throughout the entire story, but not during his introduction. The introduction explains to the audience of children, in very simple terms, that the story was an explanation of "the way things are", a recurring purpose of Native American stories. (Thompson 1929)

  • Rabbit's Short Tail is a Cherokee trickster story told by Gregg Howard. The video was recorded with an audience of children and parents, and was uploaded onto YouTube.com on June 13, 2007 to gain attention for the DVDs of other performances sold on a website. Accompanying Gregg in his performance is an unnamed flute player who accompanies him throughout the entire story, but not during his introduction. The introduction explains to the audience of children, in very simple terms, that the story was an explanation of "the way things are", a recurring purpose of Native American stories. (Thompson 1929) Similar to Grandma Coyote's tale, Gregg refers that the story was told to him by his grandfather. This important of reverence to elders is reflected in the children's attentive eyes in ears in the video. (Grinnell 2008) Gregg uses many Cherokee words in his performance. Not all of them were entirely decipherable, so they are represented by . Likewise, he makes audible grunts and other noises that are represented within "< >"s. The name for rabbit used in the story is "Tsi-s-du", pronounced "Gestew"; the fox is "Tsu-la", pronounced "Chula"; and the bear is "Yo-na" pronounced "Yona".
