    Long ago, according to the beliefs once held by the Indians of Washington and Oregon, the animals were the people of this country. They spoke, married, fished, and lived in lodges. Coyote played a prominent role in the stories told by the Indians of the Northwest. He aided in creation and taught the Indians skills they needed to live, and he was also a trickster. Tears of Joy Theatre helps celebrate the Lewis & Clark Expedition with stories they would have been told by the people whose lands they were “discovering”: How Coyote Kept his Name, from the Okanogans who lived in the North Central part of Washington state; and Coyote and the Cedar Tree, from the Clatsop/Chinook Indians who lived along the lower part of the Columbia River that divides Oregon and Washington. These enchanting stories are told with masks, rod or stick puppets, and bunraku (hood) puppets, in a performance filled with both foolishness and wisdom.
