Event Details
Come join conservation biologist Geri Vistein as she takes you on a journey to discover who this important and resilient carnivore is, in a way you have never heard before. This presentation is all about us as well, since we share the landscape and our lives with Coyote. You can ask questions you have been wanting to ask, and share a dialogue that helps us all to understand better our very deep rooted relationships with all life.
Life on earth is deeply interrelated and complex. This presentation reflects this. It is comprehensive, touching on Anthropology, Archaeology, Prehistoric and Modern History, Native American life, Human Psychology and Belief Systems, Wildlife Science and Ecology, Animal Husbandry and much more. The focus is perception and relationships. The Coyote's relationship to Native Americans for example, and to European Americans. The Coyote's relationship with other wildlife and the ecosystem. And especially the Coyote's relationship with us today.
How do we share our lives with Coyote?
