The Trickter From The Emergence Is Coyote

The trickster from The Emergence is Coyote. A story of worlds, with the First World consisting of small areas of land and light. Wingless insects that crawled out from holes in the ground along with winged insects that lead them all to a Second World. This one larger and lighter with different creatures of birds. Another step in to a Third World, that is even larger and brighter than the previous one. This world is populated with animals and human beings.

A division of the people, setting off in different directions, opened up the entrance to the next level world that was already populated with other human beings. This is where we meet Coyote. ““Oh, dear!” First Man exclaimed. The North Wind has given us Coyote, who thinks only of being lazy and playing tricks!”” (“The Emergence” 619).

When Coyote returned to his house, he noticed Water Monster’s two babies were asleep in the fur coat he had won during the game with Water Monster and he just decided to keep the babies as part of his winnings.

Locust made a hole in the sky exposing the Fifth World. Badger, with a little help from Coyote, enlarged the tunnel so the creatures who were larger could also climb into the upper world” (“The Emergence” 620).

Water Monster continued pursuing them all into this new world. First Man and First Woman figured it out and returned Water Monster’s babies and stopped his pursuit. The Fifth World was never bothered by the Water Monster
