Iktomi and the Rock | A Lakota Legend of Promises and Consequences | A Simple Tale
Simple Tales presents the Lakota legend of Iktomi and the Rock.
Iktomi, the clever and often mischievous trickster, believes he has performed a grand act of generosity when he drapes his blanket over a cold, lone rock. But as the sun warms the day, he grows regretful and returns to reclaim his gift. In doing so, Iktomi learns that the natural world remembers our actions far better than we do. The stone, silent and enduring, begins a relentless pursuit across the prairie, teaching Iktomi that a promise is not something to be discarded simply because the recipient cannot speak back.
