They are Coyote myths
I always like reading about Mythology. And the footnotes, foreword, and introduction to help explain the words and culture was very helpful.
Only downside is that these were not "authentic" myths since the initial publication tried to sanitize it for 1900s audience. But at the same time it was a collection of stories made purposefully for the 1900s, so the history behind the adaptation decisions more than makes up for it
