Produktbeschreibung

Doty Meets Coyote is an audio tapestry of traditional and original Native American stories from the American West told by master storyteller Thomas Doty.

It is Thomas Doty's work as a storyteller to not only perpetuate the Old Time myths with integrity but to add new stories to the collective basket of folklore, just as tellers before him have done for centuries. Storytelling is an ancient tradition as well as a living art. Thomas Doty's adventures with Coyote find them journeying into the rich native culture and traditions of Doty's ancestors.

Thomas Doty was born in southern Oregon, where he lived until he passed away in 2020. He was descended from the Shasta and Takelma people who lived along the Klamath River in the village of Coyote's Paw, as well as from Irish and English settlers. He spent his youth exploring the back country with his dog Tippy, hiking, and camping with family and friends. Night after night, in the light of a campfire, he listened to stories about relatives who had called southern Oregon home for generations. Doty learned the art of storytelling from native elders. He then traveled the countryside performing Doty & Coyote: Stories from the Native West and composing stories, participating in a living oral tradition.
