Jamul is the Coyote deity of the Achumawi tribe. Unlike some Native American cultures, the Achumawi view Coyote in a generally positive light– he does sometimes play the role of a trickster or womanizer, particularly in contrast to his more serious and wise companion Silver Fox, but he is still a respected culture hero who helped to create the world and teach humans the arts of civilization.
