In the ancient Yaqui folktale "Coyote Fights a Lump of Pitch," it is evident that the Yaquis revered and had a deep respect for their gods. When Coyote, a mischievous character, sought revenge on the gods for rejecting his offerings, the Yaquis were portrayed as being fearful and concerned about the consequences. They warned Coyote about the wrath he may invoke by disrespecting the gods, highlighting their belief in divine power and the need for reverence. This indicates that the ancient Yaquis held their gods in high regard and saw them as superior beings deserving of reverence and respect.
