In [[Lakota mythology]], '''Anúŋg Ité''' is a daughter of [[Škáŋ]] and wife of [[Tȟaté (god)|Tate]].  She was tricked by [[Iktómi]] to  attempt to seduce [[Wi (mythology)|Wi]] but failed when Škáŋ tells Wi that he has forgotten his wife. For attempting to undo the proper order and place herself in [[Hanwi]]'s position and forgetting her own family, one of her two faces was made ugly as punishment.  She was the mother of the Four Winds and [[Yum (Lakota mythology)|Yum]], the whirlwind. Because she was separated from her children, she causes pains to pregnant woman and makes babies cry. She was also said to have taught the Lakota how to separate [[porcupine]] quills and dye them.<ref>'Lakota Myth' by James R. Walker </ref>
