This is our collection of links to Wasco folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Indian mythology 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 Wascos, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Chinook and Maidu tribes are very similar.
Coyote (Spilyay, in the Wasco language):
Coyote is the trickster figure of the Wasco tribe. As in other Plateau Indian mythology, Wasco coyote stories range
from light-hearted tales of mischief and buffoonery to more serious legends about the nature of the world.
