Spider Grandmother charms. In Lakota tradition, the (male) trickster spirit Iktomi appears in the form of a spider. In the Northwest, the Coos people of Oregon have their version of a Spider Grandmother traditional tale. The Choctaw people of Tennessee and Mississippi tell the story of Grandmother Spider stealing fire, then after animals refused it, bringing fire to humans. Susan Hazen-Hammond (1997, 1999) compiled numerous tales collected from various tribes. Murray Mednick wrote seven one-act plays called "The Coyote Cycle" with the same four characters: Coyote, Coyote trickster, Spider Grandmother and Mute Girl. These same characters come from traditional Native American stories
