This is our collection of links to Walla Walla folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our American Indian legends section by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same story 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 Walla Wallas, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Umatilla and Cayuse tribes are very similar.
Coyote (Ispilyay):
Coyote is the trickster figure of the Walla Walla tribe. As in other Plateau Indian mythology,
Walla Walla stories about Coyote range
from light-hearted tales of mischief and buffoonery to more serious legends about the nature of the world.
