In the book Myth and Reality i was reading the parts of myths meaning "true stories" and fables being callled "false stories" on page nine it talks about the stories of coyote's, i was taught that you were only allowed to tell coyote stories during winter even though they are false stories, which i thought was interesting that the book says only sacred stories or myths were told around winter.
I also wanted to mention was that coyote stories though are false talk about our creator and how fire was made etc. so it was mentioning true myths within the false story, also to note that all or most coyote stories are supposed to have life lessons about greed and being mean to others etc. they are told to our children from our ancestors so they will learn and follow the lessons later in life.
