Ikto'mi Brings About the Death of an Iya

Über Ikto'mi Brings About the Death of an Iya

When crafty Ikto'mi comes across a hungry Iya (a giant) he fears he may become its next meal but Iya has bigger plans: he's going to eat the nearby village! With a trick or two up his sleeve, Ikto must find a way to save the people from Iya's never-ending appetite. Written in English and Lakota. Ikto'mi, whose name literally means "spider," is a trickster figure, shape-shifter, and cultural hero in traditional Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota Sioux American Indian stories. According to legend, he was born, full-grown from an egg. The first-born son of Inya - the Rock, he is the size of an ordinary man and possesses supernatural powers and spider-like qualities. He is both the fool and a sly, cunning teacher; good and bad; hero and anti-hero. Iya - the giant - is Ikto'mi's younger brother and a powerful destructive creature who consumes all in his path. Ikto'mi is also referred to as Inktomi, Iktome, Ictinike, Ikto, Unktomi, and Unktome, depending on the region and dialect.
