Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest by Katharine Berry Judson
I love all these native american unit stories because it explains things like why wood makes fire when you rub sticks together, or why the frog has no tail.
The coyote in all these stories seems to be the sneaky character but also people trust him and follow him.
The story explains how coyote stole fire for everyone when two hags were keeping it for themselves and wanted no one else to have it. Coyote and all the other animals would make a plan to steal the fire and bring it to the indians.
They passed off the fire from animal to animal explaining what the fire did to each animal.
