Trickster

spirit · Jamaica · Caribbean

Not independently attested in Jamaican tradition. The record's description ('Important cultural figure in Kiowa tradition') refers to the Kiowa (Native American Plains people), not Jamaica. Jamaica's trickster is Anansi (Kwaku Anansi), the West African spider trickster brought via the slave trade. This entry appears to be a fabricated or garbled conflation.
