This paper consists of four voices speaking about
representation and the Trickster.
Gerald Vizenor, Chippewa, is a professor of Literature at the
University of California, Berkeley campus. His voice is in
bold type and is excerpted from his article, "Trickster
Discourse".
Peter Blue Cloud, a Mohawk, is a writer of contemporary
Trickster (Coyote) stories. His voice is in reqular type and
is excerpted from his book The Other Side of Nowhere.
My own voice is in italics and is excerpted from ruminations
and mumblings in my mind.
The fourth voice, on the transparent overlays, is the
Trickster voice, also known as Coyote woman. She exists in all
of us.
Four voices, four points of view. Tribal discourse, farting
bugs, process and journey.
