Disclaimer: This drawing was vaguely inspired by another drawing I saw online, it stuck out to me and I felt inspired to make something similar.

My god, drawing old ladies is hard...

Another drawing done in honor of Women's History Month. This is in response to the drawings of the Three Sisters and White Buffalo Woman I did.

I introduce you to Spider Grandmother. She has many names, the Hopi call her Kokyangwuti, the Diné (Navajo) call her Na'ashjé'ii Asdzáá, and I believe the A:shiwi (Zuni) call her Gogyeng Sowuhti, the Ojibwe Chippewa (Saulteaux) call her Asibikaashi, but for convenience, I will refer to her as Kokyangwuti in this description.

Kokyangwuti takes the form of a very old woman who can transform into a spider. Legends has it that her home is the Spider Rock Mesa within the Canyon de Chelley National Park in the American State of Arizona.

According to legends, Kokyangwuti is a leader, a healer, and wise woman who represents all things good. She is at times identified as an Earth Goddess and she was married to the Hopi Sun God, Taza apparently. Kokyangwuti and Taza created the Earth and the animals, women, and men.
