    Such great animation, the coyote looks and acts so innocent and cute with its movements.

    I love the story, and the interpretation of the The Coyote’s personality through his fluid, playful movement. Great animation!

    So the only reason why we have our own choice, our own path we must find for ourselves, our freedom to live our lives is because Coyote flung the rest of the stars out of order not following the strict design.
    And now both halves are still up there for when we need order to guid us and when we need to find our own order that suits us best so we do not already have our lives dictacted and predetermined in the stars.
    Now when we are lost and look for a set guidance we look to the incomplete original path of the stars set by the Black God.
    And when we are trapped and feel powerless to determine our own fate we look to the stars randomly thrown by Coyote.
    . . .
    Wow. This is beautiful. And makes me feel a lot better about my life and how I still have a choice. And the only reason we have that choice to choose our own path of life to walk is because of Coyote.
    We owe Coyote our freedom.
    I know it's not always easy or safe or just with the way of the world right now. As we face countless evil forces trying to control our lives and dictate how we live. The world gas grown far too unpredictable and unstable and chaotic I know. But we still have a choice. A choice to determine our own future even when there are those who seek to take it away from us. Ironic that the forces of chaos in my home here in the United States of America sow what is tyranny and chaos by trying to order us around, tell me who I can or can't love, where I can or can't go, what I can and can't say. But I have a choice still thanks to someone who also wasn't veiwed favorably by what was deemed appropriate or acceptable.
    And it was writen in the stars that I am this way that I am and no one can ever change that or take that away from me.
    I am Gay, I am Caring, I am Curious, I am Determined, I am Ambitious, I am Bold, I am Logical, I am Understanding, and even if I am still hunted . . . I am Alive and I am Free
    And I'm not alone.
    . . .
    And it's thanks to Coyote.

      Like most cultures' stories, most tribes have a Trickster figure similar to Coyote. But Coyote specifically is generally in those areas where coyotes were originally naturally found- the Southwest, Basin and Plateau areas of the US and also in Northern Mexico.

      @@lauranicholls9421 Correct. Though they're very close in relative to the modern grey wolf, they evolved in North America exclusively. (In fact most American grey wolves have some traces of coyote ancestry.)

      It seems that most Native American myths and stories have a trickster figure, but who that trickster is depends on the natives. Coyote is definitely the most well known by outside communities, but some native cultures have rabbit, raven, blue jay, spider, or others as their trickster figures. It depends on the culture that the story originated from.

    In another version, it was Bear who was putting the stars in their place. When Coyote threw the stars in the sky, they became the Milky Way and they would be a way for the People to tell when it comes Winter or Summer
