Sprinting Backwards to God

Native Americans believe that there are three kinds of Spirits in the world: Good Spirits, Trickster Spirits, and Evil Spirits. Trickster (Coyote) Spirits exist to destroy monsters and to bring Creations and individual lives back into balance. Their lessons are hard, often embarrassing, and usually misunderstood. Sprinting Backwards to God is made up of modern Trickster tales, a few Coyote legends, and many autobiographical stories showing how the Trickster guided Sings-Alone's journey from pulpit to sweatlodge.
