Stop, I'm watching a hockey game, a basketball game and I laughed so hard on your last post I missed the winning goal. I did want to ask if the trickster is your namesake or is that just a coincidence.
In Native American lore, the coyote is a central figure. The exact roll varies around the country, but the trickster is one of the main themes.
Coyote is also a creator figure in some areas, as well as sometimes the bringer of knowledge and culture in others.
Coincidence? Of course! Must be just an accident.
