Iktomi the spider is a shapeshifter and trickster whose actions provide moral lessons, especially for young people.
He is also responsible for giving culture to the Lakota. He is like a puppet master who controls humans on a string.
Iktomi can be compared to the African trickster figure Anansi.
Iktomi literally means 'spider'.
