Spiders play important roles in the mythology of many Native American tribes. In Southwestern tribes, spiders are associated with the culturally important art of weaving, and wise spider goddesses give their assistance to the people as culture heroes.
On the other hand, many Plains tribes feature Spider as a rough trickster god, ranging from an inappropriate but popular entertaining rogue in some stories to a violent and slightly deranged criminal in others. And to many Native Americans, it still is considered bad luck to kill a spider today.
