Coyote goes to the land of the dead.
One day Coyote awoke to find that all his people had been killed. Coyote was sad and all alone. Once he was surrounded by loved ones and now he howls at the moon like a lonely soul.
So coyote decided he would travel to the land of the dead and bring all his people back with him.
“It is sad to be left behind.” He said.
So he went to the land of the dead and said to the King, “Give me my people back.” The king asked Coyote five riddles and Coyote answered them correctly. “Fine,” the king said. “Take your people and don’t come back.” So Coyote gathered all his people into a cloth and slung it over his shoulder.
But on his way back home, the cloth burst open and all of Coyote’s people came falling out.
And when they were released…
They did not know who they were and spoke of things that Coyote had never heard of.
And they ran away like rabbits, back to the land of the dead.
