This is our collection of links to Yuki folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Native American tales 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 Yukis, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Wappo and Pomo tribes are very similar.
Coyote:
The culture hero of Yuki mythology. In some Yuki stories, Coyote
plays the mischievous trickster role common in California Indian folklore, but in others, he is a more
serious protagonist who creates human beings and teaches them the arts of civilization.
