Resumen

Through this article we will analyze the multiple facets of the well-known coyote in Native American oral tradition and art following Mac Linscott Rickets’ classification. Associated with a cultural hero, the thief who stole the fire, the wanderer, the Imitator and the Creator and Destroyer of life, the spectator feels identified with their inner child and seeks to find an answer to the dichotomies in life. This multifaceted character will speak on behalf of Leslie Marmon Silko’s in Storyteller struggling between preserving the old traditions and adapting to a modern world that are so far apart. In the same line, Harry Fonseca will also represent it as a cowboy, seducer and saint.
