A Nez Perce Indian legend tells how Coyote and Black Bear had a falling out

—while fishing here long ago —

Coyote, the all-powerful animal spirit, was having a good time until Black Bear, the busybody, began to tease him.
Finally losing his temper, Coyote tossed his huge fishnet onto the hills across the river.
To teach Black Bear a lesson, Coyote threw him to the top of the hill on this side and turned him to stone.
The Nez Perce people know just where to look for the net and unfortunate bear.
