"heyokha") trickster
· Heyoka (Sacred Clown):
In Lakota and Dakota cultures, the Heyoka is a sacred clown figure who acts as a mirror to society, reflecting their weaknesses and flaws. They are often depicted as contrarian, speaking and acting in an opposite fashion to others, using humor and satire to provoke reflection and change.
· Trickster Figures:
Many Native American cultures have trickster figures, often animals like Coyote, Raven, or Spider, who are known for their mischief, cunning, and ability to transform. These tricksters may steal fire, play pranks, or engage in other acts that challenge the established order. Thanks for looking…. FM Raw Toys and Art
