A Karuk Coyote Tale About How Fire Came to the People.

"In Fire Race, we are reminded just how important the willow tree is to our way of life.  We are told of one way that coyote helped us.  We are reminded that we must remember to respect each other.  The story reveals that all-natural living things are important, from the little frog to the soaring eagle."
