(Erdoes and Ortiz 1998) This story will be approached with the Immanent Art process in mind, which will try to explain how it means what it means, verses what it literally or figuratively means. The man who collected this story, William Bright, wrote many books on Coyote stories and Native American studies, and was also the first Honorary Member of the Karuk Tribe of California.
