Aŋóg Ité

Sioux/Lakota · deity · second world · deity

Aŋóg Ité, the Double-Face Woman, was Ité, the fairest of women, daughter of the Old Man Wazí and the Old Woman Wakáŋka and wife of Tȟaté the Wind. Conspiring with Iktómi to usurp the Moon and seduce the Sun, she was given a second hideous face by Škáŋ and banished, separated from her husband and her four sons the Winds; only her prematurely born fifth child, the Whirlwind, stayed near. She is dangerous to mothers and infants but is also credited with teaching quill-work to women.
