Native American Folktale post 1) Summary

The folktale i decided to write on was from the Trickster tales graphic novel we read in class, I chose one of the stories we didn't read that i came across and found funny. It is called Ishjinki and Buzzard by Jimm Goodtracks and illustrated by Dimi Macheras. The story opens with Ishjinki talking to Buzzard, who he refers to as grandfather, and asks buzzard if he can walk where he walks, meaning if he can fly. at first Buzzard says no, that Ishjinki is meant to be on the ground, but after saying that Buzzard should pity Ishjinki he takes him on his back and fly Ishjinki in the sky. As they fly Buzzard tilts to one side and almost drops Ishjinki as he approaches a dead tree he dose it agai and drops Ishjinki into it. after tricking some women to open the tree Ishjinki escapes and wants to get back at Buzzard. to do so he turns himself into a dead horse, this doesn't trick Buzzard. Then into an Elk, which does trick Buzzard. Buzzard stars to peck at an open wound on the elk, Which is actually Ishjinki's butt, and gets trapped inside. after days and days buzzard is free and has no feathers on his head and he stinks.
