“You know your suppose to learn from Iktomni (trickster) and his teachings….not fall in love and marry him!! “

in my native culture , we have stories of the trickster as well, he isn't really a bad being  he definitely will stir up some chaos and teach lessons. bad or good  and not only lessons for humans but for himself too 

in my Sioux language, we pronounce trickster as   ‘Iktomni’  (trickster)  or  ‘Thicho’ski’ (someone who’s sneaky or tricky )  and he can be portrayed as a being who can shapeshift into anything nature, animals, human. ANYTHING he wants to be. he can walk threw the earths teaching simple lessons or completely the opposite, causing chaos, and messing with everything. There is a story about him  I grew up listening too, its about iktomni and his friend lost in the forest and one part always stuck with me, its something that ‘Ikomni’ the trickster said to grandfather rock.  

‘’Grandfather, we are lost, hungry and miserable. we don’t want to die, if we die who would show the people what not to do...by doing it.’’

They roam the earth together making way, causing havoc and chaos and teaching the humans lessons & occasionally tricking white men into giving them all their cattle lol
