Shikonno'pa' Anoli' (Stories to Tell)

Eight Chickasaw elders share stories both old and new that reveal much of what we consider essential about our First American and Chickasaw cultures.

Coyote has to get food for his cubs or Mrs. Coyote won’t let him back into their den. He spies three turkeys, who know how tricky he can be. Will the turkeys listen to their instincts, or will Coyote get his dinner?
