Forgotten Native American Gods: The Deities That History Left Behind

Описание: Long before the United States was ever imagined, long before its founding fathers walked the plains, there existed a world rich with stories, myths, and gods whose names have largely faded from memory. *“Forgotten Native American Gods: The Deities That History Left Behind”* explores the ancient, powerful, and mysterious spirits that shaped the lives of the first peoples of North and South America. From the frozen Arctic waters to the sunbaked deserts of the Southwest, these deities were real forces in the world — not distant figures of legend, but living, breathing presences who guided humanity, commanded the elements, and ensured the balance of life and death.

In this video, we journey into the rich tapestry of **Native American, Inuit, Pueblo, Hopi, Cherokee, Lakota, Algonquin, and Andean mythologies**, uncovering the stories of gods who are rarely mentioned in textbooks or modern histories. Witness **Coyote**, the Trickster, whose playful chaos brought both mischief and wisdom; **Raven**, the cunning creator of light for the peoples of the Pacific Northwest; and **Michabo, the Great Hare**, whose cleverness shaped rivers, mountains, and seasons. Discover **Sedna**, the Inuit goddess of the sea, whose fingers became the fish, seals, and whales that fed her people, and **Masau’u and Supay**, the guardians of the underworld who taught respect for death, fire, and the cycles of life.

Explore the *elemental powers of nature* embodied by Thunderbird, whose wings summon storms and lightning; Wi the Sun and Hanwi the Moon, whose eternal marriage explains day and night; and the Corn Mother, Selu, whose sacrifice birthed life-sustaining crops. Learn how constellations were living stories, with Coyote flinging stars across the Navajo sky and a celestial dog scattering cornmeal to form the Milky Way. Through the Skidi Pawnee Morning Star rituals, humanity was intimately tied to cosmic order, linking fertility, life, and the pulse of the universe.

Yet with European colonization came tragedy and erasure. Missionaries labeled these gods as devils. Sacred groves were destroyed, rituals outlawed, and divine images forgotten. Slowly, generation by generation, these deities slipped from memory. Yet their essence persists in echoes — in stories, in art, in dance, in pop culture. Coyote leaps in cartoons, Kokopelli graces Southwestern souvenirs, and Thunderbird soars as a symbol for sports teams, cars, and military units. Though their sacredness may be diminished, their power remains, reminding us that divinity exists everywhere: in the land, the animals, the elements, and the stories we tell.

*Join us on this incredible journey into the myths, legends, and mysteries of the forgotten American gods.* Witness the gods who shaped continents, taught humans how to live, and left indelible marks on culture that persist to this day. Whether you are fascinated by mythology, anthropology, Native traditions, or simply the power of storytelling, this video will open your eyes to a world of divine wonder long hidden from history books.
