Synopsis
The story Coyote’s Christmas Tale is about a young coyote who lived on the Dinetah, also referred to as the Navajo Reservation. It is a children’s story that encompasses elements of the American Southwest. The story contains animals from the southwest, as well as Native Americans, the Dine, who are more widely known as the Navajo. The story does have some traditional Native American elements, but it is not meant to be a historical piece of writing. The story allows for the readers to use their imagination and to make their own inferences. I hope you enjoy it.
