Ohlone mythology
The mythology of the Ohlone (Costanoan) Native American people of North California can be defined as the creation stories as well as other ancient narratives that contain elements of their spiritual and philosophical belief systems, and their conception of the world order. Their myths describe supernatural anthromorphic beings with the names of regional birds and animals, notably the eagle, the Coyote who is mankind's ancestor and a trickster spirit, and a hummingbird.
