This legend originates from the Wishram people in southwestern Washington state. The Wishram were known as Smohalla or dream-people due to their deep insights into the medicine-way through their curing societies.

Coyote's wife and two children had died, and Eagle suffered the same misfortune with his wife and two kids.

"I want to see them again more than anything in the world," wept Coyote.

"Prepare your moccasins and make ready, Coyote," responded Eagle. "I'll take you to the spirit world."
