Coyote Brings the Food
The story “Coyote Brings Food from the Upper World” tells how Coyote brought to earth the plants that the Secwepemc use for food and medicine, and how animals and fish got their special shape and features. The story closes with Coyote gathering all the people together and reminding them to enjoy the environment where they are, to share what they have, and to not ruin or destroy.
“It is your job to care for the land and to protect all living things.” he said, You are its caretaker.”
