Coyote Finishes His Work
It has now been one hundred years since Coyote and the Old Man have last been seen. Life has continued, the world has evolved even more, and new people have emerged to join the Indian tribes! People in the Indian tribes still continue to play tricks on each other, honoring the Coyote’s tradition, for they know he will soon be back and more ready than ever to pick up where he left off.

He starts with moving some Indian huts to the other side of the river, allowing some to float on the river, and combining some together, to
