A Twist in Coyote’s Tale is the true account of a young Englishwoman who was drawn into the extraordinary renascence of a Native North American tribe. Fragmented and disinherited, and eventually deemed extinct by the Canadian government some thirty years earlier, the Arrow Lakes people began their long journey back to their roots and their identity as the Sinixt First Nation upon learning of the removal of ancestral remains from an ancient settlement in the beautiful Slocan Valley of British Columbia, Canada.
An extraordinary encounter with an Arrow Lakes visionary from the Colville Indian Reservation in Washington State, USA, draws Celia Gunn into the midst of their struggle, and for six years, she walks a path that few have travelled, her life entwined with the great wisdom of Native American philosophy.
Her contemporary experience of traditional teachings and ceremonies unfolds alongside an increasing awareness of the harsh and painful political and social realities under which Native American people now live. Yet their gentle humour and wise teachings and the healing power of nature help reconcile her to an acceptance and inner peace that she has never before known.
Guided by a living shamanic tradition, Celia begins to understand that, rather than helping the Native people, she is the one being helped, into learning to understand the balance of her own, unique identity. Frankly sharing her hopes and illusions, her dreams and growing insights in the writing of this warm and powerfully descriptive account, she comes to realise that it is as much a tale about a woman’s personal journey – the song of a healing spirit learning her place in the dance of life – as the journey of a people back to their roots.
