AncientPages.com | January 28, 2019
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Like many other mythological tricksters, Iktomi finds himself in constant trouble. He is very destructive, mostly to himself. Iktomi likes to play games and trick people, but in most cases his intricate plans to harm others backfire and he finds himself in hopeless situations.
Being a shapeshifter and spider-trickster in Lakota mythology, Itkomi is also famous for using strings to control humans like puppets.
