Tah the Trickster is a character in the folklore of the Dene people. Tah, whose name means "spear," was born out of a black wolf and a white wolf and is considered to be the ancestor of most of the major wolves in the world. He is not seen as evil or dangerous by the Dene, but is recognized as having great powers that he uses for good. Tah appears in various stories from all around the world, but is most commonly known from his appearance in the story Bear Bear's Grandmother
In this story, Tah uses his powers to help Bear Bear's grandmother see her dead husband. As a result of her seeing her husband, she becomes a very long-lived woman herself. Tah also appears in other stories about him helping people, such as when he saves a man from drowning and when he helps a young boy find his lost sister.
