little people are the mythical "little people" in Iroquois lore. Usually always invisible, there are ways of telling if they are around. Like missing items around the house They also leave rings of bare earth and "bowls" in stones or mud; offerings like tobacco can be offered. They are also used to explain disembodied lights and bad luck. When people, usually children, elders, and spiritual healers, see the little people they are described as "knee-high" to around 1 ft 0 in (0.30 m) tall. Behaviorally, the little people love games and playing tricks, and take items. Some myths say they can be dangerous if they are disrespected. They have been claimed to cause illness in homes and neighborhoods that are built on sites to which they are attracted.
