Iagoo was one of the great American Indian storytellers. He knew about everything including the land and animals that occupied it. It was the stories that gained the children's hearts and smiles. Iagoo could explain the ways of the animals which was an extremely rare talent. He showered the children with gifts that he made.
Everything has human characteristics. It gives the stories life and sets them apart from the norm. Iagoo used his stories to teach the children life lessons.
