More Yazzie Coyote paintings

COYOTE: SITTING, STANDING, RUNNING

Coyote is a complex character, enduring a rich history with the human world. For the Navajo/Diné, Coyote is a character of transgressive power, a revered cultural being whose actions are often seen as a reflection of our own human morality. Even in a contemporary sense, they are mischievous instigators, often believed to be an invasive species, challenging the livelihood of rural ranchers and farmlands and city dwellers. But, they have always been a symbiotic creature on the periphery of human civilizations. It’s through this lens, one might consider the coyotes I paint in man-made worlds as a reflection of our own transgressive relationship to the natural world we share with Coyote. In my paintings they can be seen perched on chairs or perhaps a canoe, wandering throughout vacant interiors of contemporary environments. Void of humans in these spaces, each room contains artifacts of our lives, offering clues and questions. Objects/forms and associations of the western imaginations become the resting place for nature’s determined creature on four skinny legs, taking back the places we all too often see only as our own. - Yazzie

Hi hello, are there keychains still available? My friend’s birthday is coming up and she loves horses and I just realized that’s a perfect gift

Many apologies, but they are not currently!

Even after I made the update, people were still dming to make sure lol

Which is good, if you could all keep interest for maybe just a little bit longer🙏 My father is very taken aback, and I'm sure flattered by your guy's attention on his product

So yeah, if anybody's still interested in the horsehair keychains, dm to get your spot on the waitlist, because he's definitely going to start making more. But also know that these lil guys take time to make

For anybody who doesn't know what I'm talking about, I'll have the post pinned to my profile

(Made it a Barbie poster just to spite the Barbie movie for being Anti-Native)

Genuinely burned out but I still want to have something for Trinity for Native American Heritage Month.

Trinity Metuktire is from the Kayapo tribe, I have this as the tribe that Nathan is related to because I don't like the fact that he was related to a fictional tribe.

I do appreciate that they tried to give him some diversity to him though.

Trinity is Nathan's cousin, Nathan's mother was the result of an unfaithful husband who happened to be the chief at the time, Trinity's mother was the result of the chief's marriage to his wife.

Trinity's spirit animal is a deer, her birthday is May 29, 1977.

Trinity can be described as harsh, brash, very blunt, and mean.

She is very serious when it comes to people threatening the Amazon forest, which is something the tribe Irl is constantly fighting.

And is very passionate about her tribe and heritage.

In my headcanon, the episode where the boys travel to the Amazon forest to reconnect with Nathan's heritage takes a similar plot to the Pepper Ann Native episode where Nathan finds out that he's a quarter Kayapo and thinks based on misinformation and misleading documentaries that is spread that they act a certain way.

Upon meeting with Trinity though (Charles was able to figure out they were related upon a DNA test on Nathan that he sent into an ancestry site) she teaches the boys that the misinformation they learned is not true at all.

She teaches them actual knowledge of their culture like body painting rituals Trinity helps out with that the boys find to be pretty brutal.

She also teaches them botany which is what the tribe excels at in real life.

Trinity also reveals that she learns from other Native American tribes on her travels around the world to bring her tribe's situation to the public.

That's where she learned beading from, the Navajo tribe.

Toki falls in love with her over her ability to stand up for him when others decide they want to make fun of him and the fact that she takes no bs from him or the band.

She didn't realize he fell in love with her until she saw how he acted when she beaded him something because like Nathan she tends to give blank expressions and is oblivious when someone falls for her.

Nathan was upset with the fact that he might be related to Toki if Trinity decides to marry him and Skwisgaar was mad that he was losing his pupil to some girl.

So both tried to team up and try to split them up.

But that didn't work as Trinity was able to see through both of their bs.

Toki plans to marry her someday but Trinity isn't really ready for that type of commitment because she doesn't want to leave her people.

*Minor spoilers for Army of the Doomstar*

In AOTD she helps aid the boys in the fight to protect her cousin and her boyfriend.

She helps nurse Skwisgaar back to health and is finally ready to enter a relationship with Toki.

She wasn't made aware of the prophecy until after AOTD.
