The Coyote is depicted as a Trickster spirit. According to one Miwok creation myth "Coyote shook his walik" (something similar to a blanket of tule) to the four directions south, east, north and west. The water dried, and land appeared. The meaning of the Coyote symbol was very important to the Southwest Indian tribes including the Navajo and the Zuni. The coyote is perceived as holy but also adopts the role of a Trickster. Sometimes the Coyote spirit was so mischievous and involved in his own trickery that he would trick himself which is why, according to mythology, there are so many mistakes in the way things are in the world. The coyote is also associated with Spiritual Healing and "Coyote way" is a healing ceremony that consists of a series of prayer chants and other rituals which are performed over a period of several days. The Coyote appears in the stories of a number of tribes. In the following picture Coyote attempts to get persimmons from Opossum in traditional native American Caddo mythology. The coyote symbol represents the the prairie wolf and is small and cowardly, the least imposing of the wolf like animals. In Native American myths and legends the contemptible coyote symbolizes selfishness, deceit and greed. He is often outwitted by the animals who he tries to trick. Those he helps do not show the coyote gratitude. However, despite this the coyote is perceived as a powerful magician bringing the world to some order although this might not have been his intention.

The Coyote symbol is in a fact a pictogram. A pictogram, also called a pictograph, conveys a story and meaning through pictures that signify and resemble the shapes of physical objects or people. An Idea gram is another form of pictogram which conveys complex ideas, feelings and emotions. A pictogram, such as the one recognized as a Coyote symbol, is a therefore a form of writing which uses representational, pictorial drawings to tell a story. Did you know that the coyote was used to make Native American Quivers?

Why do bees like basswood trees?

Basswood produces fragrant, yellow flowers that dangle precariously underneath the heart shaped leaves. Basswood trees, which bloom during May and July, produce prolific amounts of nectar that is favored by wandering bees. Bees also help pollinate important crops such as apples, squash, and pumpkins.

During spring, the silent flowering Basswood tree commonly goes unnoticed to us, but not to the bees. Basswood produces fragrant, yellow flowers that dangle precariously underneath the heart shaped leaves. Basswood trees, which bloom during May and July, produce prolific amounts of nectar that is favored by wandering bees. Bees also help pollinate important crops such as apples, squash, and pumpkins. When bees are abundant, the beekeepers are busy tending hives and harvesting the light, delicious honey. Basswood’s fall seed crop feeds wildlife such as mice, squirrels, and chipmunks as they prepare for winter. During winter, deer and rabbits rely heavily on its tender seedlings and stump sprouts for food and cover. In the latter part of their life, Basswood trees often hollow out, creating new spaces for bee hives and bird nests. It is advised to selectively open gaps in the dense forest canopy to allow seedlings and saplings underneath to receive light and grow into healthy Basswood trees. With this light, the next generation of your forest can vigorously grow into the strong flowering trees of tomorrow.
