Abstract

Indigenous trickster glyphs and figurations from Canada’s westcoast, Coyote and Raven (C&R), are wont to roam and soar freely, rather than be confined to field, fen, glen, thicket, moor, genre, medium, discipline or paradigm. It behooves them to be told to carry and produce a visa or carte du maître at a border, bridge, stile, lock, gate or wicket, so they make do—shapeshifting, makeshifting, circumlocuting and electron tunneling to, by, with, through, across, and around regulations and natural laws.
