Central to these narratives is Coyote-the mischievous trickster and creator figure-alongside other zoomorphic beings who shape the world through acts of wit, folly, and transformation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether, these tales offer rare insight into Shoshone worldviews, revealing how myth served as both moral guide and cultural memory.
