The Legend People
‘Before they were any Idians, the Legend People. To-when-an-ung-wa, lived in that place. There were many of them. They were many kinds-birds, animals, lizards, and such Things- but they looked like people….For some reason, the Legend People in that place were bad. Coyote turned them all into rocks. You can see them in that place now; all turned into rocks, some standing in rows some sitting down, some holding onto others. You can see their faces, with paint on them just as they were before they became rocks…...”

It is a stunning view but even more so with the dark threatening clouds.
Also many do not know that Coyote was the “god” at the top of the Indian’s list of mythical gods, he was a trickster, shape shifter and welded great power. Not a god to be trifled with or taken for granted.
Bellavista2 replied
Howdy Barnis! That is one thing also I like about this photo is those threatening clouds, it adds an air of mystic to the photo. Hey yeah, I heard about the Coyote from ‘Shilohlin” she is native American and you simply got to check out her photos, absolutley amazing, she commented on my photo on this page,,,,,She has thi samzing Coyote photo and story;-}
