History
According to Jon Young, coyote teaching was inspired by the teaching methods of native hunter-gatherer and tracker societies from across the globe including the Akamba people of eastern Kenya and the teachings of Stalking Wolf, the mentor of Tom Brown Jr. Its practitioners have called this style of teaching an “intersection of many technologies”, merging both new and old techniques. The result is a combination of the native traditional and the modern methods of instructing students and it can be applied to many disciplines.
Coyote teaching is the method used to train instructors at Tom Brown Jr’s Tracker School and Jon Young’s Wilderness Awareness School. Naturally, when a coyote teacher trains a student, the student becomes adept at the style of teaching and can in turn, mentor more students using this method. A common saying among coyote teachers and students is, "When raised by a coyote one becomes a coyote".

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.”
—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
