Shasta
Coyote encountered an evil water spirit who caused water to rise
until it covered Coyote. After the water receded, Coyote shot
the water spirit with a bow and ran away, but the water followed
him. He ran to the top of Mount Shasta; the water followed but
didn't quite reach the top. Coyote made a fire, and all the other
animal people swam to it and found refuge there. After the water
receded, they came down and found new homes.
