Native Americans today
What's new on our site
This is our collection of links to Siuslaw stories and folktales that can be read online. We have indexed our Native American legends section by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same legend are often told by American Indians from different tribes, especially if those tribes are kinfolk or neighbors to each other. In particular, though these legends come from the Siuslaw tribe, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Coos and Alsea are very similar.
Coyote.
Coyote is the trickster figure of the Takelma tribe. As in other Northwestern mythology, Takelma coyote stories range
from light-hearted tales of mischief and buffoonery to more serious legends about the nature of the world.
