From the Publisher
Includes 75 color drawings by Hopi young people; for ages 6 and up.
The second volume in Clear Light Publishers' Original Language series, "Coyote & the Winnowing Birds" was elected by the American Folklore Society for the AESOP Accolade List in 1995, for its contribution to children's folklore. The first volume in the series, "Coyote & Little Turtle," received this honor in 1994.
In the second traditional Hopi story, Coyote tries to play a cruel trick on the birds, but they find a way to trick him instead. The tale is presented here as told by a respected Hopi elder and storyteller, the late Eugene Sekaquaptewa. The text is presented in both Hopi and English, and the charming full-color illustrations were provided by the storyteller's audience of Hopi children, students at the Hotevilla-Bacavi Community School on Third Mesa, Arizona. Expressing Hopi tradition in a natural and accessible manner, the story will have a strong appeal for young children of every culture--and for their parents.
"Coyote & the Winnowing Birds" and "Coyote & Little Turtle" are designed to promote literacy and bilingualism in the Hopi villages and to stimulate interest in Hopi language and culture. A section on the Hopi alphabet, together with Hopi-English and English-Hopi glossaries, are included to familiarize readers and teachers with some unique features of the Hopi language.
This book was produced in collaboration with the Institute for the Preservation of the Original Languages of the Americas (IPOLA); the Hopi Tribe Cultural Preservation Office; the elder storytellers; the children, staff, and board of the Hotevilla-Bacavi Community School; and the Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology at the University of Arizona.
