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".
