Books by Mourning Dove

'Mourning Dove' was the pen name of Christine Quintasket, a member of the Colville Federated Tribes of eastern Washington State. She was the author of "Cogewea, The Half-Blood" (one of the first novels to be published by a Native American woman) and "Coyote Stories", both reprinted as Bison Books.

Talks about Coyote, the trickster, the selfish individualist, the imitator, and the protean character who puts the finishing touches on a world soon to receive human beings. This work also features Mole, his long-suffering wife, and all the other Animal People. It reveals why Skunk's tail is black and white, why Spider has long legs, and more.
