A larger figure of a man with four smaller men surrounded by trees.

Common to myths and stories of the Southeastern tribes, “Little People” are very similar to the fairies of Ireland and elves of England. Normally regarded as tricksters, they also at times had magical powers and helped protect or guide individuals or groups of people.
