COYOTE AS VIEWED BY MANY CALIFORNIA INDIANS AS THE MAKER OF THE HUMAN RACE. HE ALSO DISPERSED ACORNS AND SALMON THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. HE ALSO HAD MANY STORIES ABOUT HIS ABORTIVE JOURNEY OF GATHERING SHELL MONEY AT KLAMATH FALLS, HIS FOOLISHNESS, AND TRICKERY.
COYOTE WENT TO KLAMATH FALLS TO GET THE MONEY THAT HE SO DESIRED, AND HE GOT A LOT OF IT. COYOTE WENT UPSTREAM, THERE HAD BEEN A BIG FIRE AND THERE WERE LOTS OF GRASSHOPPERS. HE GATHERED A FEW ROASTED GRASSHOPPERS AND WENT DOWN RIVER.
HE TURNED INTO SOME DRIFTWOOD AND FLOATED UPSTREAM AND WATCHED WOMEN LEACHING FLOUR. HE SAID I'LL KEEP FLOATING INTO CIRCLES DOWNSTREAM FROM THEM. SOME GIRLS PICKED UP THE DRIFTWOOD MAYBE IT'S COYOTE AND THEN THEY THREW IT BACK INTO THE RIVER.
THEY ATE SOME ACORN MUSH AND THEY BOTH BECAME PREGNANT. THEN COYOTE FLOATED DOWNSTREAM AND EVENTUALLY TURNED BACK INTO HIMSELF.
