Iya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see IYA.
In Lakota mythology, Iya is a storm-monster, brother of Iktomi the spider. He eats humans and spreads diseases, and uses heads as trophies. This fact, however, does not make him bad or evil; he simply performs a duty and is considered a sacred being by those who consider the old legends as truth. He is the eye of the storm, and offers protection to those caught in his wake. The tornado, the snowstorm, the hurricane or the thunderstorm would all be considered manifestations of this deity. He travels with his storms in a fabulous tipi painted with magical symbols, and when he appears, he is often faceless and formless. His home is said to be under the waters, where he resides with his mother, Unk.
He is considered to be the chief of the North, symbolically encompassing the spheres of winter, famine and disease. He is the guardian of the Aurora Borealis and holds to a rivalry against both the chief of the South, Okaga as well as the thunderbirds, though this is vastly exaggerated in tales told to outsiders.
He is the younger brother of Iktomi, and the pair comprises the two progeny of Inyan, the creator, who is the head of the Lakota pantheon.

Children... all little children... why don't we all grow up and turn these school yard emotions into something that will actually benefit us instead of wasting time with all this bickering... It would seem that some people are very jealous of the IYA, Fahud and Muja... they are sneaky and just out to help themselves but so is everyone in this company... there are no team players at all... also those guys they have a really shit job because they have to put up with all your winging and your inadequate skills as human beings... (and as pilots)
