Purchase options and add-ons

She’s Tricky Like Coyote is the story of Annie Miner Peterson, who was born in an Indian village on a tidal slough along the southern Oregon Coast in 1860.

Annie lived a full and fascinating seventy-nine years. In the 1930s, she dictated her story, in Miluk Coos, to anthropologist Melville Jacobs, who translated the account into English. Although only a few pages long, the autobiography reveals a bright, outspoken, and independent woman who was raised as a traditional Indian and married five Indian men but whose adult life was spent in the white world. Supplementing the account with anthropologists’ field notes, interviews with relatives, and other primary and secondary works, Lionel Youst here provides the first full-length biography of an American Indian linguistic or ethnologic informant from the northwestern states.

4.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable biography of a survivor

Native American history in Oregon is brief and depressing. The subject of this biography is a woman who had a difficult life but carried within her cultural and linguistic treasures that she passed on to researchers in her later years. I learned of this book from the bibliography of another book and found it very interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten Tribes
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2005
This book was wonderful and we need more like it. The Indian tales of Oregon and Northern California are mostly unknown by peoples outside of anthropology and archaeology, and these stories need to be told. It must have been incredibly hard to be an Indian during those times and we all should question our own history. The book is worth buying and was inspirational.
