She is valued as a messenger of ancient wisdom, is a Dreamwalker and specializes in identifying animal totems.
Her name Coyote was given to her through an initiation as a young child when she was identified as a person to receive spiritual teachings.
Marie’s full ceremonial name, which emcompasses the word Coyote , is not spoken in everyday conversation and is only used in Sacred Prayers . Through visions and dreams she received permission to use the shortened version of her full name, thus “Coyote” Marie Hunter-Ripper.
