Coyote Tracks "Bahn Goki" This golf hole has several sand traps bringing to mind the tracks of animals. The coyote is predominating in many Odham stories. In one story, the coyote is tricked by baby quails that run away from coyote and hide in holes in the ground. The coyote reaches into the holes and pulls the quails out one by one. The coyote reaches in to the last hole, which has no quail. Alas, the coyote is tricked again in grabbing on to a thorny cactus that was placed there by the quails. While the coyote was jumping and hollering the quails made their escape. Today, Odham basket weavers incorporate coyote track representations in combination with other designs on their baskets. |
