Ohunka (Lakota: false, untrue,[1] plural ohunkakan) is a traditional Sioux evening story. They usually feature mythological characters like Iktomi or Iya together with humans. The storyteller's skill required the combination of episodes and keeping the audience interested.[2] Some ohunkakan were collected by Zitkala-Sa in her Old Indian Legends.
