North Dakota Native American Essential Understandings Number Four is about sense of humor. It states, "Native people have a rich history of shared sense of humor that includes teaching stories involving Iktomi, Maymaygwisi and Nanabozhoo. These stories and this unique sense of humor continue to support our resiliency and cohesiveness”.

Welcome to Story Station Season 2, Episode 20. In this episode, you can listen to 2 Native American Stories. The first story is titled “Iktomi's Blanket”. The selfish Iktomi is only worried about himself on this cold and dark night. The second story is titled “Iktomi and the Coyote”. This is a funny tale of Iktomi being completely outsmarted by a simple coyote! Hope you enjoy it! ============================================= Listen to Story Station on: Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/56ibkvBTlE9nQJqzsqoktS Apple Podcasts- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/story-station-stories-from-around-the-world/id1508876382 Google Podcasts- https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xZDE3MzhhYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== ============================================= Sources: “Iktomi's Blanket” from Old Indian Legends by Zitkala-Sa “Iktomi and the Coyote” from Old Indian Legends by Zitkala-Sa
Dream Catcher LegendsOjibwe LegendA grandmother watched patiently each day as a spider spun his web above her sleeping place until one day her grandson noticed the spider and tried to kill it.“Don't hurt him,” she told the boy in a soft tone, surprising him.“But grandmother, you should not protect this spider.”When the grandson left, the spider thanked the woman for her protection and offered her a gift. “I will spin you a web that hangs between you and the moon so that when you dream, it will snare the bad thoughts and keep them from you.”At this, grandmother smiled and continued to watch the spider spin his web.Lakota LegendWhile receiving a spiritual vision high on a mountain, a Lakota leader met Iktomi, a trickster who also held great wisdom. Appearing to the leader in the form of a spider, Iktomi made a hoop of willow and spun a web inside of it. He told the aged Lakota man that many forces, both bright and dark would attempt to enter peoples' dreams and that the dream catcher he was making would catch the bright forces and allow the dark ones to slip away and burn up. Iktomi instructed the old man to make dream catchers for his people so they could all achieve a bright future by capturing the good dreams that are blown about by the winds of the night.As you can see, in the Lakota version, dream catchers trap good dreams, just the opposite of the Ojibwe belief. *_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*Contact UsInstagram: @hocuspocusletsfocusFacebook: Hocus Pocus lets focusEmail: hocuspocusletsfocus@gmail.com*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*Cover art by IG https://www.instagram.com/drop.dead.zombie/?hl=en*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*Want to help support the Podcast?

Being a super hero is never straightforward, especially in Shoreline, where relationships are blurred and our heroes find the work harder than expected. Spectre takes a huge bump against his mother's goons, Wrath exercises his will along with his trusty sword, Sia finds their violent hero persona skirting close to her other life and, when facing an old flame, Iktomi demonstrates his commitment to leaving the villain life behind.

"Munnin" —episode 3 of American Gods' second season— showed us Mr. Wednesday really is pulling the strings behind many of our favorite characters. It also showed us a different side of Ricky Whittle when Shadow Moon loosened up for juuuust a second. New Media finally arrived on the scene and wasn't quite what we expected. Then things got REALLY unexpected as she ... interfaced with the god of surveillance, Argus. Iktomi and Sam Black Crow added Native American viewpoint to the kaleidoscopic cast, sending The King Bee and Gene Lyons rushing into research mode. And we found some interesting stuff. Listeners wrote in this week to speculate on Bilquis' power and correct us on perceptions of skin color in the black community. And Shat on TV gets a warning from one fan: Stop being so negative, or you'll sour the crowd.

Manstin was an adventurous brave, but very kind-hearted. Stamping a moccasined foot as he drew on his buckskin leggings, he said: “Grandmother, beware of Iktomi! Do not let him lure you into some cunning trap. I am going to the North country on a long hunt.” With these words of caution to the bent old rabbit grandmother with whom he had lived since he was a tiny babe, Manstin started off toward the north. He was scarce over the great high hills when he heard the shrieking of a human child. “Wan!” he ejaculated, pointing his long ears toward the direction of the sound; “Wan! that is the work of cruel Double-Face. Shameless coward! he delights in torturing helpless creatures!”
Beside a white lake, beneath a large grown willow tree, sat Iktomi on the bare ground. The heap of smouldering ashes told of a recent open fire. With ankles crossed together around a pot of soup, Iktomi bent over some delicious boiled fish. Fast he dipped his black horn spoon into the soup, for he was ravenous. Iktomi had no regular meal times. Often when he was hungry he went without food. Well hid between the lake and the wild rice, he looked nowhere save into the pot of fish. Not knowing when the next meal would be, he meant to eat enough now to last some time. “How, how, my friend!” said a voice out of the wild rice. Iktomi started. He almost choked with his soup. He peered through the long reeds from where he sat with his long horn spoon in mid-air. Host Dan ScholzSubscribe to The Folktale Project at http://folktaleproject.com/subscribe
Afar off upon a large level land, a summer sun was shining bright. Here and there over the rolling green were tall bunches of coarse gray weeds. Iktomi in his fringed buckskins walked alone across the prairie with a black bare head glossy in the sunlight. He walked through the grass without following any well-worn footpath. From one large bunch of coarse weeds to another he wound his way about the great plain. He lifted his foot lightly and placed it gently forward like a wildcat prowling noiselessly through the thick grass. He stopped a few steps away from a very large bunch of wild sage. From shoulder to shoulder he tilted his head. Still farther he bent from side to side, first low over one hip and then over the other. Far forward he stooped, stretching his long thin neck like a duck, to see what lay under a fur coat beyond the bunch of coarse grass. A sleek gray-faced prairie wolf!
Iktomi is a spider fairy. He wears brown deerskin leggins with long soft fringes on either side, and tiny beaded moccasins on his feet. His long black hair is parted in the middle and wrapped with red, red bands. Each round braid hangs over a small brown ear and falls forward over his shoulders. He even paints his funny face with red and yellow, and draws big black rings around his eyes. He wears a deerskin jacket, with bright colored beads sewed tightly on it. Iktomi dresses like a real Dakota brave. In truth, his paint and deerskins are the best part of him—if ever dress is part of man or fairy. Iktomi is a wily fellow. His hands are always kept in mischief. He prefers to spread a snare rather than to earn the smallest thing with honest hunting. Why! he laughs outright with wide open mouth when some simple folk are caught in a trap, sure and fast.
The huntsman Patkasa (turtle) stood bent over a newly slain deer. The red-tipped arrow he drew from the wounded deer was unlike the arrows in his own quiver. Another's stray shot had killed the deer. Patkasa had hunted all the morning without so much as spying an ordinary blackbird. At last returning homeward, tired and heavy-hearted that he had no meat for the hungry mouths in his wigwam, he walked slowly with downcast eyes. Kind ghosts pitied the unhappy hunter and led him to the newly slain deer, that his children should not cry for food. When Patkasa stumbled upon the deer in his path, he exclaimed: “Good spirits have pushed me hither!” Thus he leaned long over the gift of the friendly ghosts. “How, my friend!” said a voice behind his ear, and a hand fell on his shoulder. It was not a spirit this time. It was old Iktomi.
Alone within his teepee sat Iktomi. The sun was but a handsbreadth from the western edge of land. “Those, bad, bad gray wolves! They ate up all my nice fat ducks!” muttered he, rocking his body to and fro. He was cuddling the evil memory he bore those hungry wolves. At last he ceased to sway his body backward and forward, but sat still and stiff as a stone image. “Oh! I'll go to Inyan, the great-grandfather, and pray for food!” he exclaimed.
In one of his wanderings through the wooded lands, Iktomi saw a rare bird sitting high in a tree-top. Its long fan-like tail feathers had caught all the beautiful colors of the rainbow. Handsome in the glistening summer sun sat the bird of rainbow plumage. Iktomi hurried hither with his eyes fast on the bird.

Folktale: Iktomi and the Boulder
Anansi and his crew attempt to take out Pritchard and Daucina, but are surprised by Iktomi and Coyote, who lead them to the Neutrino Detector, a giant ball suspended 30 feet in the air, filled with radioactive water. Under Loki's orders, Coyote straps Anansi to the outer shell, but with a wink and a smile, he neglects to actually fasten the straps.
"Anansi is kidnapped by Baron Samedi, who takes him to the crossroads and shows him two possible futures for Kanene; her dying a horrible death at a young age, or living a long and peaceful life. Anansi has a choice to make - join Iktomi, or lose Kanene forever.
Anansi and Coyote go their separate ways, Iktomi's threat still ringing in their ears. After a dull day making telephone calls to keep their con rolling, Anansi is attacked by a dozen vicious, evil fairies, furious with him for killing their king the night before. Anansi uses every trick he can, manifesting himself as a variety of different spiders in order to trap, poison and rend the fairies limb from limb. But can he outwit them all?
Anansi and Coyote have an amazing night at the Hold Steady concert, and Coyote shares information about Iktomi, including the fact that he is, for lack of a better word, a total loser. However, after the show they discover he is a loser with impressive friends when he accosts them in a parking garage, accompanied by some powerful trickster gods.
