Scammers combine entertainment and wickedness.

The supernatural cultural heroes of American mythology can also be liars who use their cunning to steal fire, destroy monsters, and make jokes. In several villages, these tales form a unique mythological unit, and in certain areas, such as the northwest coast, the trickster and the cultural hero are thought of as two distinct people. Tricks myths give the narrator a wide range of possibilities and are undoubtedly the most popular stories among Native Americans. After the slaves of West Africa merged it with a Hare character, one character, the Southeast Rabbit, went into modern American tradition as the Brer Rabbit.

In most cases, the trickster and the cultural hero are named by the same name, such as the Great Hare, Nanabush or Gluskap in the forested area, Rabbit in the southeast, Coyote in the plains and the west, Spider in some areas of the plain and Cuervo, Blue Riding or Vison on the northwest coast. Although it has diverse appearances, it shares common traits throughout the continent and similar stories can be found in distant regions of each other. He can be a skilled joker or hooker and ends up trapped in his own game, wounded or even dead, to reappear with an equally reckless attitude despite the experience. Sometimes, this figure acts irreverently and stupidly, highlighting the importance of moral rules and limits, and many of the myths in which he appears are very common.Sometimes, the character's role as a cultural hero and deceiver is combined into a single myth, as in the myth in which the Cuervo steals celestial bodies. According to an Algonquin myth, Gluskap brought summer to the icy northern regions.

The clever villain travelled to the south of the country of Winter, where he captured Verano, the leader of the "little people" and took her to the tipi of winter, which melted before her presence. Gluskap then allowed Verano to return to his home.
