Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. Join your Griot, Amon Mazingo, as we embark on an enlightening journey through the rich narratives of Indigenous and African descent cultures in the Americas and the Caribbean. In this episode,we hear three delightful stories that reveal Coyote's relentless pursuit of cleverness, often leading him into humorous predicaments. The first tale, "Coyote and His Bow," showcases Coyote's desire to outsmart the other animals in a quest for the largest bow and arrow, only to find himself outwitted by his own cleverness. Next, in "Coyote and Skunk," we witness Coyote's failed attempts at hunting, leading to a comical partnership with Skunk that highlights the unpredictability of trickster dynamics. Finally, "Coyote and Turkey" takes us through a series of lies and misunderstandings, ultimately teaching Coyote a valuable lesson about perception and reality. Each tale weaves together themes of wit, resilience, and the complexities of character that define the trickster archetype across cultures.Book: Coyote & Native American Folk Tales: Native American Folk TalesBy: Joe Hayestime(00:00) Welcome aboard(00:32) Coyote Tales(23:53) My Thoughts(31:06) Chef’s Galley(34:36) Fair WindsAfter the story, Chef presents a mouthwatering recipe for Turkey Tamale Casserole —a savory dish inspired by the episode’s themes and perfect for savoring as we reflect on the blessings we all seek in life.Afro Tales Recipe of the week: Turkey Tamale Casserole with Green Chile Tomatillo Saucehttps://riolunaorganic.com/recipe/green-chile-turkey-tamale-casserole/ John Stories:Hermana Fox & Hermano Coyotehttps://www.afrotalescast.com/hermana-fox-hermano-coyote/ The Adventures of Juan Bobohttps://www.afrotalescast.com/the-adventures-of-juan-bobo/ The Coyote Teodorahttps://www.afrotalescast.com/the-coyote-teodora/ Mental Health Phone Number: 988https://www.nami.org/Support-Education/Support-Groups/NAMI-Connection To Support Afro Tales Podcast:Website: https://www.afrotalescast.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/@afrotalescast  Podcast Artwork:Artbyshalaye: https://www.instagram.com/artbyshalaye/ Music:Artist: ArizonaGuideAlbum: Southwest Native American Indian Flute MusicPlantationSong: Old Tolchaco - URL: https://pixabay.com/music/world-old-tolchaco-southwest-native-american-indian-flute-music-176524/ SFX:https://freesound.org/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/afro-tales-podcast/donations
