Summary
Doty Meets Coyote is an audio tapestry of traditional and original Native American stories from the American West told by master storyteller Thomas Doty.
It is Thomas Doty’s work as a storyteller to not only perpetuate the Old Time myths with integrity but to add new stories to the collective basket of folklore, just as tellers before him have done for centuries. Storytelling is an ancient tradition as well as a living art. Thomas Doty’s adventures with Coyote find them journeying into the rich native culture and traditions of Doty’s ancestors.

Talking Quail, Cherokee Nation, praise for Thomas Doty
“Thomas Doty is a treasured Native American storyteller. He has the very real talent to interweave an ancient story with endless wonder and surprise while connecting both the story and the characters with today. When he tells the story, he becomes the character described and the audience is transported to that moment and place.”
Gary Albright, director of the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum
Reader Bio:
Thomas Doty was born in southern Oregon, where he still lives. He is descended from the Shasta and Takelma people who lived along the Klamath River in the village of Coyote’s Paw, as well as from Irish and English settlers. He spent his youth exploring the backcountry with his dog Tippy, hiking, and camping with family and friends. Night after night, in the light of a campfire, he listened to stories about relatives who have called southern Oregon home for generations. Doty learned the art of storytelling from native elders. He currently travels the countryside performing Doty & Coyote: Stories from the Native West. A lover of journeys, he saunters through the places stories come from. He listens to folks tell their stories. He composes stories. Thomas Doty participates in a living oral tradition.
