Old Indian Legends is a collection of Sioux stories retold by the Yankton Dakota writer Zitkala-Sa and published in 1901. Concerned about the effect of assimilation on the tribe's children, she wanted to preserve the traditional stories of her people.[1] According to the University of Virginia Library Electronic Text Center, there are 14 legends which comprise this book.[2]
The first five legends have an unlucky trickster character, a spider fairy named Iktomi.
