Coyote is a Native American culture hero, buffoon, and trickster figure who mixes animal and human traits to mostly comic, often catastrophic, and sometimes salutary effect.
*
The world in which Coyote moves can be conceived as a parallel to the Aboriginal Australian Dreaming and to the worlds of most other early indigenous mythological story cycles and systems including those which are native to our own shores.
*
Wherever and whenever our world is perceived as a sentient being and the pervading ontology is animistic in nature; wondrous, perplexing, and highly imaginative, yet nonetheless, instructive tales such as these are to be found.
Long may they continue to be enjoyed…

Coyote is a central character in Navajo mythology. as you say he can be tricky, humorous, hurtful or beneficial. I love reading the tales about him.
