My family and I are looking for sources of a Native American tale about Coyote and Bear. Basically, Coyote and Bear have some land together, and decide to cooperate. At the beginning of the first season, Coyote says "I will take everything above the ground, and you can have everything below the ground." So Bear plants potatoes. Next season, Coyote says "This time, I will take everything below the ground, and you can have everything above the ground." So Bear plants corn. We were able to find one version of this story online, though it differs in some aspects from what I have just described.

However, we think we recall hearing versions where at the beginning of the third season, Coyote says something like "This time, I will take what is on top and what is on the bottom, and you can have what is in the middle." So Bear plants celery, or some similar stalk crop.

Does anyone have any other sources, online or print, for versions of this story?
