Coyote America with Dan Flores
Manage episode 298982093 series 2965279
Predators are a two-faced god for humans, according to Dan Flores, historian and author of Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History. After all, we were once both predators and prey.
With this episode, we continue to explore this complex relationship of humans and predators by looking to the song dogs of the prairie.
Coyotes inspired several Aztec dieties, served as the model for the protagonist of the earliest American stories, and, in defiance of a concerted effort by federal and state agencies to wipe them off the face of the earth, thrive throughout the lower 48 states today. As such, they have much to teach us about the natural and cultural history of America and, more broadly, about our own species.
Thank you to David Larzelere for playing the guitar on the "Coyote National Anthem."
