Publisher's Synopsis

When crafty Iktómi comes across a hungry Íya, he fears he may become its next meal but Íya has bigger plans: he's going to eat the nearby village! With a trick or two up his sleeve, Iktó must find a way to save the people from Íya's never-ending appetite. Complete Lakhota translation.

Iktómi, whose name literally means "spider," is a trickster figure, shape-shifter, and cultural hero in traditional Lakhota, Dakhota, and Nakhota Sioux American Indian stories.

According to legend, he was born, full-growth 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.
