Resumen

A lo largo de este artículo analizaremos las múltiples facetas del famoso coyote en la tradición oral de los nativos americanos siguiendo la clasificación de Mac Linscott Rickets. Relacionado con un héroe cultural, con el ladrón que roba el fuego, el vagabundo, el imitador y el Creador y Destructor de vida, el espectador se siente identificado con su niño interior y busca encontrar una respuesta a las dicotomías de la vida. Este personaje polifacético hablará a través de Leslie Marmon Silko en Storyteller luchando por preservar las tradiciones antiguas y al mismo tiempo adaptarlas a un mundo moderno, tan distantes entre sí. En la misma línea, Harry Fonseca también lo representará como un cowboy, un seductor y un santo
