Stories That Made Us
Few things are constant across all humanity and throughout time. Stories are one of them. Some stories we forget, while some stay with us forever. Some are stories of culture, morals, and philosophies that guide us to happy and meaningful lives.
These are stories of Gods and Demons, of Heroes and Legends, epic battles and wars; stories of fortitude and inner strength, of fighting against all odds and emerging victorious.
These stories inevitably become tales that determine our moral compass, justify norms and mores of our society, and provide a proud self-identity, and a socio-cultural belonging. These become the stories that give us meaning.
This podcast is about such stories. Those that are deeply rooted within us, governing our morality and principles. So join us on a journey across cultures, tribes, civilizations, and religions, as we identify and discuss those stories that matter. The stories that made us.
This episode is the finale of the three-part Jewish tale of Adam and Eve. Check out the previous two episodes before you listen to this for more context. In the first episode,we spoke of God’s intent to create man and angels’ opposition to the love and freedom of will and conscience that God chose to gift mankind. We spoke of the creation of Adam, of the existence, nature, and the journey of our souls, and in doing so, we spent time talking about the disposition of an ideal man – and the nature of Adam. The second episode recounted the nature of an ideal man, the story of Satan, the creation of Lilith and Eve, and then we spoke of Adam and Eve’s life in Paradise – in the garden of Eden; and then concluded that episode with the fall of humanity as we ate the forbidden fruit.
The story this week continues from here. It has been collected and recounted from the book titled “The Legends of the Jews” by Louis Ginsberg. Details below:

Welcome to another episode of Stories That Made Us. This week’s tale is a continuation of the past week, the second part of our three-part tale of Adam and Eve. In the previous episode, we spoke of God’s intent to create man and angels’ opposition to the love and freedom of will and conscience that God chose to gift mankind. We spoke of the creation of Adam, of the existence, nature, and the journey of our souls, and in doing so, we spent time talking about the disposition of an ideal man – and the nature of Adam. Check out all that if you’ve missed it in last week’s episode! The tale continues this week, where we speak of the fall of Satan, the creation of woman, Adam and Eve’s life in the garden of Eden, and finally, the fall of man.
The story has been recounted from the book titled “The Legends of the Jews” by Louis Ginsberg.

Hi There! Welcome to another episode of Stories That Made Us. This episode, and in the next two, we tell the Jewish tale of man’s creation, disgrace, punishment, and expulsion from the garden of Eden – it’s the story of the first of humanity – it’s the life and times of Adam and Eve. This myth requires no introduction, and so, without any fanfare, let's get straight to the story, which has been recounted from the book titled “The Legends of the Jews” by Louis Ginsberg. Details are in the show notes.

We’ve got a fantastic tale from North America this week, a myth of the Sioux people of MidWest United States. The Sioux nation is one of the largest Native American tribes, consisting of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota tribes. They traditionally lived in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, but were forced to migrate west to the great plains by the French and the Ojibwe tribes.
The Sioux of old were a nomadic people who roamed the great plains, following buffalo herds throughout the American Midwest. Buffalos being an important part of their culture – responsible for food, clothing, houses – or teepees and many pieces of jewelry.
The people believe in Wakan Tanka, the great spirit. This represents the power or the sacredness that resides in everything – both living and inanimate.
Storytelling, as with almost all Native American tribes, is an important part of the Sioux culture. Tales, indeed, legends were passed down from one generation to another as tales told around the bonfire. This story is one such tale. Recorded in the early 20th century by Mrs. Marie McLaughlin, and in her own words, “ told in the lodges and at the campfires of the past, and by the firesides of the Dakotas, these tales are the thoughts of a grave, and sincere people, living in intimate contact and friendship with the big outdoors that we call Nature; a race that is humble, but honest and fair; a sincere, and gravely thoughtful people, willing to believe that there may be in even the everyday things of life something not yet fully understood; a race that can, without any loss of native dignity, gravely consider the simplest things, seeking to fathom their meaning and to learn their lesson”

Hello! Welcome to a brand new episode of Stories That Made Us. For this week’s tale, we head over to the land of the rising sun, the mighty country of Japan.
Japanese myths have traditionally been passed down through oral traditions, for through most of Japan’s history, its communities were predominantly isolated from one another. This allowed for local legends and myths to grow around the unique features of the geographic location where the people who told the stories lived. We shall find examples of this throughout our four tales, where the stories are tied tightly to their geographic regions.
The two main sources for Japanese myths that are most recognized and widely known are the texts of Kojiki and Nihon Soki or Nihongi. These ancient texts delve into the creation of the Gods and the world, and from there, continue to cover the origins of the Japanese people and the monarchy.
Old listeners would have listened to the tale of Japanese creation myth in Episodes 35, 36, and 37 of the first series. Those tales were all taken from the Kojiki and Nihongi, and are a marvelous account of the trials and tribulations faced by Gods and Goddesses as they shaped the world we live in today.
This week, we have four tales from this beautiful land, all courtesy of the book titled “Old World Japan – Legends of the Land of the Gods” by Frank Rinder. Details of which are below.

This week, we speak of the Hero Brothers - Hunahpu and Xabalanque of the Quiche Mayans. The tale is narrated in the Popul Voh, or the Book of Council, the very same from where we recounted the Mayan tale of Creation of the World. Check out that story in Episodes 29 & 30 of the first season.

This week, we recount the tales of Pygmalion, and then, of Phaeton. These stories were initially told and propagated orally, with evidence of Minoan and Mycenean bards singing songs of Gods and heroes way back in the 18th century BC. Pictorial depictions of these tales were popular too, featuring prominently in vase paintings and decorations.
The first story we recount today is that of Pygmalion, which is a tale of a prominent King and sculptor of Cyprus. It is recorded in book 10 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses – and the story you’re about to hear now has been taken from the book titled “A Book of Myths”, authored by Jean Lang.

This week, continuing with our theme of Native American folklore, we recount the Seneca tale of Genonsgwa, or the stone giant. Now to put the story into context, the Genonsgwa, is the name of a mythological rock giant of the Iroquois-speaking tribes, of whom the Seneca are a prominent part, living south of Lake Ontario, one of the Great Lakes in North America. In some tribal traditions there is only one such stone giant, while in others, there is a whole race of them. These giants are descibed as being about twice as tall as humans, with their bodies covered in rock-hard scales that repel all normal weapons. They are associated with winter and ice, and they hunt and eat humans. In some legends Genonsgwas were once human, and became cannibal monsters as a curse punishing them for evil deeds, like the Windigos of Chippewa mythology. In other legends, Stone giants were never human, but were a tribe of primordial man-eating monsters.

Welcome to a brand new episode of Stories That Made Us! This week we conclude the wonderful tale of the great Algonquian hero – Nanabozho, which we began in the previous episode. Keen listeners and old followers of the podcast would remember Nanabozho – for he played a grand role in the creation of the Anishinaabe world – helping the great spirit – the Kitchi Manitou to build our world and populate it with all beings – making everything the way we see it today. Check out episode 6 of the first series for that awesome tale.
This story is one of his many tales and has been taken from the book titled, “The Indian Fairy Book – From the Original Legends” by Henry Schoolcraft.

Check out episode 6 of the first series for that awesome tale.
Now, this episode continues with the tales of this great hero of the Native Americans of the great lakes. Anthropologists and scholars, those who study the Anishinaabe Adizookaan – traditional storytellings – believe this hero to be a trickster spirit, a culture hero that features prominently in the traditional folklore of the many native American tribes of the great lakes. Often appearing in the shape of a rabbit or a giant man – as is the case in this tale – he is a shapeshifter and is responsible for teaching mankind all the good things we know.
This story is one of his many tales and has been taken from the book titled, “The Indian Fairy Book – From the Original Legends” by Henry Schoolcraft.

In this episode, we talk about Eric Thorvaldsson and Leif Erickson. Better known as Eric the Red, this remarkable man was a Norse explorer, who, according to the medieval sagas of Iceland and Greenland, was the founder of the first settlement of Greenland. His son, Leif Erickson, took after his father, and sailed westward, all the way to North America, to the land he named Vinland, which is today interpreted as being coastal Nova Scotia in Canada.
This week, we tell their tales. These are their stories, as written down in the Icelandic saga. It is recounted by Jennie Hall in her book “The Viking Tales”. Details below:

Welcome to a new episode of Stories That Made Us, where we shall spend the next while recounting the travels of the gorgeous Freyja, the Norse Goddess of love, beauty, fertility, and sex. Her father is Njord, the god of the seas, and her brother is Frey, the god of virility, peace, and prosperity.
The story is taken from Kearny’s book titled, “The Heroes of Asgard – Tales from Scandinavian Mythology”. If you’d like to hear more about Norse mythology, check out the story of their origin and the creation of our world in episode 39 of the first series.

Welcome to the third episode of a brand new series of Stories That Made Us. This second series is all about the Heroes of mythology. It's the stories of conquests, love, wars, and heartbreaks; the tales of men and women who, through their bravery, conviction, integrity, and strength, created the moral and social constructs that govern our lives to date. Once the world was created, as discussed in the first series, it fell to heroes and heroines to guide the race of mankind to be a better version of ourselves. These are those tales. The inspirational stories of courage, selflessness and justice that were passed down to us by our parents and grandparents.
We, in this episode, conclude the famous story of Kilhwch and Olwen, which is a classic hero quest during the times of the great fabled British King Arthur. The story is translated from the book - THE MABINOGION. Now the Mabinogion is one of the earliest compilation of stories to have come from the British isles. Written in around the 12th and 13th centuries, these tales provide a fascinating glimpse into pre-Christian British life.
The book we refer to is free for use and distribution and can be found in Gutenberg.org. Check below for more details on the book! It is, as you would find out, an intriguing read!

This week, we recount the tale of the Norse, who were also called Norsemen or Vikings, depending upon the era under discussion. The Germanic-speaking Norse people lived in Scandanavia and other parts of Northern Europe between 200 and 700 AD.
After 700 C.E., when they began raiding and settling in Britain, Iceland, Greenland, and elsewhere, they are generally referred to as Vikings, who came to prominence in the 9th and 10th centuries. Different versions and offshoots of their myths spread into the counties they inhabited, especially, for example, Britain and Germany. Many myths that we call Anglo-Saxon were influenced by Norse myths, as were the myths of Germany, contained in works such as the
Nibelungenlied. The primary source for the myths of the Norse people, including the creation myth, is Iceland, where the old Norse religion remained in force long after the rest of Europe had been Christianized. It was not until the year 1000 that the Icelandic Assembly voted to replace the old religion with Christianity.
The Norse myths that we know now are contained in the Icelandic text called the Younger Edda or the Prose Edda, compiled by the Icelandic historian Snorri Sturluson in about 1220 A.D.. Snorri's work is based on much older works from the oral tradition and from the Elder Edda or Poetic Edda, which was written down between the ninth and twelfth centuries, and re-discovered in 1643. It is sometimes called the Edda of Saemund because it was wrongly attributed to Saemund Sigfusson, a writer of the 12th century.
The Norse creation myth retold by Snorri in the 10th-century Sddaic poem, the Voluspa, is an animistic myth centering on the Ice Giant, Ymir, from whose dismembered body the world was made.

Welcome to the 37th episode of Stories That Made Us. The podcast brings to you stories from cultures and civilizations from around the world, and this week, it is the conclusion of the wondrous and magnificent creation myth of the Japanese. If you have missed the previous two episodes on the Japanese or would like a refresher, it is now a good time to check them out. In part one of the myth, we spoke of the creation of the world and all the deities of natural phenomena by the gods Izanagi and Izanami. In the second part, we continued the story with the tale of Amaterasu, the sun goddess, and Sosa Nowono, the mischievous trickster god. The episode concluded with the travels and tribulations of the deity named Ohona Moji. The episode ended when the Ohona Moji finally found happiness after marrying Suseri Hime, the daughter of Sosa Nowono. He found his own kingdom in the province of Izumo. The finale that is this episode, continues with his story and concludes with the end of the reign of Gods and deities upon the earth, and the beginning of the reign of emperors.

Today, in the 35th episode of Stories That Made Us, we talk about the Creation Myth of the Japanese. This is a story of the creation of the Shinto Gods and Goddesses, who then created our world, and us.
Before we delve into the story, it is worthwhile to note that our understanding of the Japanese Creation myth is based on two ancient texts. Whilst the stories must have circulated orally since long before, it was first put to prose in 682 A.D. - commissioned by Emperor Temmu as a "history of the Emperors and of matters of high antiquity". It wasn't to be completed, however, until A.D. 712 and was compiled by the court scholar Ono Yasumaro. The book, of course, isn't exactly supposed to be an accurate historical record but is to be seen more as a text that establishes a clear line of descent for the Japanese rulers and nobility from the 7th and 8th century A.D to the Shinto gods, and ultimately, the Supreme Goddess - The Sun Goddess - Amaterasu.
Two years after the completion of the Kojiki, Empress Gemio commissioned the preparation of a "national history". Not much is known about this project, other than that the book was completed and laid before the Empress in 720 A.D. by Prince Toneri and Yasumaro Futo no Ason. This is The Nihon Shoki, or the Nihongi, and is best considered a sequel to the Kojiki.
It is more complete, elegant, and goes a long way in addressing many of the discrepancies in the Kojiki. It also reasserts the history and genealogies of some of the clans who are not mentioned in the Kojiki.
So it is these two books that are the pillars of our understanding of the Japanese or the Shinto creation myths.
In this episode, we cover just the first part of the Japanese creation myth, focussing on the beginning of all, on Genesis. Stay tuned for the conclusion of this magnificent and intricate tale in the later episodes.

This episode showcases the tales of the Joshua or Tce'Metun of Oregon, and Kiowa of Oklahoma, both in the United States. The Joshua Native Americans of Oregon have a myth that is a good example of the imperfect creation theme. The creator succeeds in making the world after many attempts, learning from his errors and moving towards perfection. A sense of the imperfection of creation·especially of the human element in creation·pervades this myth, so much so that the creator seems not so much godlike as one of us. In keeping with his human aspect, the creator acts as a culture hero, teaching the people how to live before departing to leave them to their own devices.
The story recounted in this episode was first narrated in the book by Jarold Ramsey, titled "Reading the Fire: The Traditional Indian Literatures of America."
The Kiowa people live in southwestern Oklahoma. Their myth, based on a retelling by N. Scott Momaday, check the details in the description for more information. It is said that the Kiowa emerged into this world long ago through a hollow log, far north of their present home, and that a pregnant woman got stuck in the log, blocking the way for others. What follows is a fascinating tale that culminates in the creation of the hero twins who brought prosperity to the Kiowa. I hope you enjoy their fantastic tale of creation, as told by Mr. Momaday.

Welcome to the 29th episode of Stories That Made Us. This week, we travel to Latin America to tell the creation myth of the Mayans, or k'iche' Mayans. Their's is a story of first, the creation of the world and of mankind, and second, mankind's search for the sun and dawn. This episode covers the first part of this wondrous and fascinating tale. The second will be covered in the next episode.
Now the story of the Mayans have been extensively documented in the Popol Voh. The book was written sometime between 1554 and 1558 A.D., which was during the time when Christian conquerors plundered the Americas. The book, which is literally translated as "The Council Book" or "The Book of the People" is an account of the ancient world, of the exploits of Mayan heros, and the tales of Quiche Mayan cosmology and creation.
I have personally found it interesting to compare this story to that of the Aztecs, which was covered in episode two of the series, as a comparison of their thoughts and beliefs. They were, after all, two of the most prominent civilizations of the Americas. This then, is the creation myth of the Mayans.

The people who would become Polynesians and Micronesians probably began their migrations some 3500 years ago· originating somewhere in East Asia. Developing amazing sailing skills, they made their way across the Pacific, passing through the islands of the Melanesians and, in the case of the Polynesians, gradually settling in Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Tahiti, New Zealand (Maori), and, finally, Easter island and Hawaii, completing the process in about 1000 AD.
Many Polynesians believe that in the beginning there was Rangi and Papa (Heaven and Earth) coupled in a tight embrace in the primeval darkness. It is a tale that is very similar to that of the Maori of New Zealand - bringing us to the first tale of the episode, the creation myth of the Maori.
The Maori are a Polynesian people who have inhabited New Zealand since long before the arrival of Europeans. The Maori religious and mythological system concerns itself with profound spiritual matters and the nature of Being itself.
The Maori cosmogony usually begins with the union of Rangi (Heaven) and Papa (Earth). In many parts of New Zealand the creation myth does not say much, if anything, about the supreme being, Io (Iho). There are several versions of this myth. Our tale begins with Io, the primordial deity who created the universe.
The next two stories is of the Samoans. Samoa, in the South Pacific, was settled as early as 1000 B.C.E. by Polynesian peoples. By 200B.C.E., Samoans were the center of a trading relationship and cultural exchange with the islands of Tonga and Fiji. As widely scattered as their islands are, there are many similarities between the mythologies of the various Polynesian groups.
The final story is of the inhabitants of the islands of Hawaii. The indigenous people of Hawaii were a part of the large Polynesian people who, beginning in about 1200 B.C., gradually populated over a thousand islands in the south and central Pacific ocean. Their civilization comprised of the so-called Polynesian triangle. The people who inhabited these many islands eventually formed stories, mythologies, and cultures of their own, but were connected by a common ancestral thread. This becomes apparent in the creation myths of the episode. Now the original inhabitants of Hawaii came to the island between 300 and 700 A.D. Their culture, as was the case with many Polynesian Islands, maintained its own religion and way of life, before it was dominated by Christian and European and American ways in the 19th Century A.D. The Hawaiian creation myth is the part of a 2,000-line poem called the Kumulipo. It delineates a fascinating story of the creation of the world from a time when darkness and chaos reigned supreme. The tale celebrates nature, and the lush fertility of the islands by recognizing the many animals and fish that inhabit the surroundings.
In fact, much like the Maoris of New Zealand, the creation story was once chanted at the birth of the children. It signified a new beginning and the relationship between the child and the flora and fauna of the first creation. The myth itself celebrates the islands and everything that grows on them, and the relationship between the people and their environment.
The stories have been inspired by David A Leeming's amazing book, "Creation Myths of the World: An Encyclopedia."

This episode, the 25th of our series on creation myths, takes us to the Andes in South America. We speak today the tales of two civilizations that dominated the Peruvian, Ecuadorian, and Chilean cultures. These are, after all, the creation myths of the Inca and the Jivaro.
The Inca civilization was an ancient culture that was centered in Cuzco in modern-day Peru. In time, their influence also dominated much of Ecuador and Chile.
Most of our understanding of their mythology comes from the records of the Spanish explorers and missionaries to South America in the 16th century A.D. The Inca were the most powerful and influential people of the Andean region until their defeat by the Spanish, led by Pizarro in 1553.
They had an intricate belief system that centered around Cuzco - their capital city, which, in their opinion, was at the center of the earth. It is from here that they observed much of the milky way and the solar system. Their belief system, for a large part, was ingrained in the movements of constellations, planets, and other planetary formations, and their effects on agricultural and crop cycles, and also human and animal behavior.
Inca society was highly developed. Many scholars would argue that they were perhaps more developed at the time than their eventual conquerors, the Spanish, and indeed, most of the western world.
The Jivaro or Shuar are an indigenous people of the eastern Andes, predominantly inhabiting their ancestral lands in Ecuador and Peru. Well known around the world for their head-shrinking practices, and skilled use of blow-darts, the Jivaro had a brutal and hard existence, first fighting against the Inca dominance, and then the Spanish conquests. This history of fighting has left a lasting mark on the peoples of the tribe, for many still choose to isolate themselves from the ways of the modern world.
The Jivaro practice their animistic religion. Like other animistic religions of the world, the people of the tribe believe that spirits inhabit all things - animate and inanimate. This is why deities such as Nungui, the earth mother, and Arutam, the spirit protector are an important part of their religion and mythology. Now speaking about their mythology, it is not a happy one. Their story is dominated by a series of battles among the gods. Inevitably, as with most wars of the gods, the victims of these battles are peoples.

The Irish were a part of the Celtic tribes that populated most of Western Europe. They developed a mythology that was separate not only from that of the continental Celts, but also their neighbors, the welsh Celts. Today's tale is not much of a creation myth per se. In fact, we covered the Celtic creation myths in episode 8 of this series. What the tale is, and what we cover today, is a history of invasions that eventually led to the establishment of a unique identity of the people of Ireland.
Today, we discuss the story of the habitation and development and settlement of Ireland. As far as a creation story is concerned, today's tale is part of an epic that depicts the gradual development of an Irish identity out of the chaos of numerous invasions. Each invasion contributes to the Irish uniqueness, all culminating into the existence of a spectacular tale of Ireland.
Our story today comes from Lebor Gabala Erenn, or the Book of Invasions. It is a collection of poems and narratives that speak of the occupation of Ireland, from the times of the creation of the world all the way to the middle ages.
The book, and indeed, our story, tells the tale of six invasions of Ireland. The first to land upon the Irish shores were the people of Cessair - who was a descendant of Noah. They were followed by the people of Partholon. Then came the followers of Nemed, and later, the Fir Bolg , the Tuatha de Dannan, and finally, the Milesians. The first four invaders or settlers were either decimated or had to abandon the island. The fifth group came to be revered as the pagan gods, while the sixth, and final, group of settlers represent the Irish people, the Gaels of today.
So then, let's hear the tale of the wondrous island of Ireland!

This episode covers the creation myths of the Hungarian, Sami, and Romanians of Europe. To put that into perspective, we cover tales from the lands of Hungary, parts of Sweden, Norway, Russia, and Finland, and of course, Romania and Moldova. The first two tales are of the Hungarian and the Sami peoples, who are a part of the Finno-Ugric language family that also includes the Fins and Karelians of Russia. We cover their creation story in episode 18 of the series. It's a rather interesting tale - recounted from the first two runes of Finnish national epic - the Kalevala.
Our first tale is of the Hungarians. The origin of Hungarians is a matter of debate. Owing to their linguistic proximity to other Finno-Ugric languages, they are generally believed to have originated from the Ural Mountains, Western Siberia or Middle Volga. In fact, until rather recently, were considered to be directly related to the Huns. This theory has, however, been debunked. Interestingly, the first written version of the Hungarian creation myth is contained in a book titled "The Deeds of the Huns and Hungarians, and dates back to 1282 A.D.
This and the later versions of the Hungarian creation myth, including the one recounted here, were collected and formed a part of the Hungarian mythology, which came to be known as the Saga and Legend of the Stag. It was compiled by the Hungarian ethnographer and linguist, Adorjan Magyar.
The second story is of the Sami. The Sami or the Lapp people have inhabited northern Europe for at least two thousand five hundred years. They are a part of the Finno-Ugric family, with their homeland consisting of parts of Sweden, Norway, Russia, and Finland. We have covered the Finnish creation myth in episode 18 of the series, which is recounted from their national epic, the Kalevala. The creation myth of the Sami has a similar tale, which, for reasons that will be clear as you hear the story, is aptly titled, "Son of the Sun". It speaks not only of how the world came to be but of the travels of the Son as he sought to bring mankind into the world. This then is the Sami tale of our origin.
The final story of the episode is the Romanian creation myth. Now the origin of the Romanian people and their languages are a subject of longstanding debate. The seemingly popular theory suggests that the cultural and linguistic intermixing that happened during the second century A.D., including the wars between Rome and the Dacian people, who were inhabitants of Southwestern Europe. Romanians emerged out of this intermixing, and make up the majority population of Romania and Moldova.
Others dispute the Roman influence and suggest the origin of the Romanians from a post-Roman evolution of the Balkan Nomads. Over time, Romanians have developed intriguing and very impressive mythology. Their stories have been the source of inspiration for many writers and thinkers all over the world. One variation of their creation myth involves a duality that existed at the very beginning. This duality is represented as Firtat, or brother, who is also thought of as God; and Nefirtat or NonBrother sometimes called the devil.
The second story speaks of a creator God, who enlists the help of animals, in this case, a mole, to create the world. Let's begin with the first story - the tale of Firtat and Nefirtat.

India is a vast country where humans arrived from Africa no later than fifty five thousand years ago. This long time span of human occupation has given the nation its many distinct religions and tribes. The country boasts to be the spiritual home of many of the world's prominent religions - hinduism, sikhism, and buddhism to name some. This week, however, we tell the tales of some of the lesser known beliefs of the indigenous tribes of the country. The first is the creation myth of the Birhor of Central and Eastern India. It is followed by the story of the Santhals, the largest of the ethnic Munda tribes that are native to Eastern India and Bangladesh, with a sizable population in Nepal and Bhutan as well. We then speak of the Garo people, who are an indigenous Tibetan-Burman ethnic group found in the northeastern states of the country. The last tale is of the Gond or Gondi, one of the largest tribal groups of India, spreading over many states or provinces of India. These are their stories - the tales of some of the indigenous and native tribes of the ancient land of India.

This episode showcases two such tales of the Hopi, a Native American tribe of the United States. This tale is one of the many Native American stories that we've covered over the past months. Check out episode 1 for tales of the Achomawi, Atsugewi, and Acoma Pueblo. Episodes 4 and 6 recounts the stories of various Apache and Algonquian-speaking tribes respectively while episode 9 features the Arikara and the Arapaho. You'll find the fascinating stories of the Cherokee, Caddo, and Cheyenne in episode 12, and the creek, crow, and Diegueno in episode 15. Now that plugging previous episodes is out of the way, let's get back to the creation myth of the Hopi.
The Hopi is a sovereign nation, living on several mesas (or flat topped hills) that rise above the surrounding Navajo reservation in northeastern Arizona. Their lands encompass more than 1.5 million acres and are made up of predominantly 12 villages on three mesas.
Their society is perhaps best known to us for their elaborate dance ceremonies. These ceremonies involve mysterious spirit figures known as the kachina.
First is their tale of the creation of the world, and our origin and place in it. I apologize in advance for any mistakes made while pronouncing some of the names.
This particular tale is highlighted in the following story as was told to the missionary and ethnographer Henrich Voth in 1905. This story not only talks of the origin of the world, animals, and man but also discusses the arrival of the Spaniards. Needless to say, by the time the story had been recorded, the colonial invasion had permeated into the Hopi culture and stories.
The following myth is recorded in the book titled "The Traditions of the Hopi, Anthropological Series" by Henrich Voth. Please check the description for details about the text. The full reference of the text is as under:
H. R. Voth, The Traditions of the Hopi, Anthropological Series, vol. 8, Chicago: Field Columbian Museum, 1905, 1–16

The ancient Greeks lived in many lands around the Mediterranean Sea, from Turkey to the south of France. They had close contacts with other peoples such as the Egyptians, Syrians and Persians. The Greeks lived in separate city-states, but shared the same language and religious beliefs. The Greek culture and civilization can be dated back to the Bronze Age (around 3200 – 1100 B.C.E.). In this period, a number of cultures flourished on the islands of the Cyclades, in Crete and on the Greek mainland. They were mainly farmers, but trade across the sea, particularly in raw materials such as obsidian (volcanic glass) and metals, was growing.
Mycenaean culture flourished on the Greek mainland in the Late Bronze Age, from about 1600 to 1100 B.C.E. The name comes from the site of Mycenae, where the culture was first recognized after the excavations in 1876 of Heinrich Schliemann.
The Mycenaean period of the later Greek Bronze Age was viewed by the Greeks as the “age of heroes” and perhaps provides the historical background to many of the stories told in later Greek mythology, including Homer’s epics. Objects and artworks from this time are found throughout mainland Greece and the Greek islands. Distinctive Mycenaean pottery was distributed widely across the eastern Mediterranean. These show the beginnings of Greek mythology being used to decorate works of art. They come from about the same time that the epics of Homer were reaching the form in which we inherit them, as the earliest Greek literature.
The collapse of Mycenaean civilization around 1100 B.C.E. brought about a period of isolation known as the Dark Age. But by around 800 B.C.E. the revival had begun as trade with the wider world increased, arts, crafts and writing re-emerged and city-states (poleis) developed.
It was around this time that Hesoid wrote the poem "Theogony" - the geneology of the birth of gods. Hesiod's Theogony was a large-scale synthesis of a vast variety of local Greek traditions concerning the gods, organize as a narrative that tells how they came to be and how they established permanent control over the cosmos. It was the first known Greek mythical cosmogony. Our tale today is the very same that was propounded by Hesoid over 2800 years ago.

Tales from Africa are wondrous and many. This week, we discuss the stories of some very interesting tribes that emerged from the continent. This, of course, is a continuation of our tales from Africa. Other tribes are represented in episodes 16, 11, 7, and 3. There's also the ancient Egyptian creation myth that we covered in the 17th episode.
Hi there and welcome to Stories That Made Us. This week, we tell tales of the Ekoi, Fan, Fon, Fulani, Bakuba, and Basonge. The stories have been inspired by David A Leeming's amazing book, "Creation Myths of the World: An Encyclopedia."
We begin with the origin story of the Ekoi.
The Ekoi is a common name that is given to a combination of southeastern Nigerian tribes. They live near the Efik people, whose tale of origin we covered in the 16th episode! Under the religious leadership of high priests called Ntoons, the Ekoi are best known for their ritualistic many-faced skin-covered masks.
The Ekoi story contains a two creator motif that is perhaps expressed in the multi-faced masks for which the tribe is famous. Keen listeners may also find the closeness in names between the Ekoi and Efik creators.
The next story is of the Fan. The Bantu-speaking Fan inhabit parts of what are now Gabon, Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea. Their creation myth is a story of human origin. There's a sense of an element of evil inherent in the world. The Fang creation myth emphasizes the fall of Fam, a creature that represents original mankind. The evil was so incorrigible in him that the deities had to create a new Fam who became the ancestor of the present humans. Their story possesses an element of the flood myths where the god destroys the old creation with thunder and lightning. Interestingly, the myth purports the idea that the world has inherent evil that is in the buried old and original Fam. It also speaks about the potential spiritual power in the existence of the Soul.
We now move on to the Fon. The Fon is a large West African group of peoples living in Benin, southwest Nigeria, and Togo. Their short creation myth, which exists in various forms, features a moon goddess. The Fon is a patrilineal people whose creation myth is dominated by apparently female forces. In all likelihood, this arises from the obvious creative power of women as birth-givers. Of interest, too, is the presence of a positive force in the body of a serpent.
The final story is of the Basonge. A Bantu tribe of the southeast Congo region, the Basonge, tell creation myths that feature, like so many other myths of Africa, the theme of enmity between two creators.

The Finns, one group of Uralic speaking Indo-European peoples, speak the Finno-Ugric language based on an original Uralic vernacular spoken by peoples of the northern Urals for several millennia.
These peoples have developed a distinct mythology after they migrated into the area known as Finland and Karelia. These myths were collected in the national epic of Finland, the Kalevala, compiled by the poet Elias Lonnrot in the 19th century.
Hi there! Welcome to Stories That Made Us! On this episode, we recount the Finnish creation myth, which is based on ancient Finno-Ugric traditions. The story recounted here is told mainly in the first two runes or sacred chants of the epic Kalevala.
Väinämöinen is the central character of epic. He is a shamanistic hero and a minstrel or bard. He is born of Ilmatar, the water goddess and contributes to the creation of Earth - especially bringing fertility to the barren world. This is his tale, as much as it is the story of the world's creation.

The Greek historian Herodotus had claimed Egypt to be the Gift of the Nile. The Nile Valley did give birth to one of the world’s oldest civilizations. In time, the peoples and culture of Egypt became a window to our past. The civilization gave rise to some of mankind's greatest achievements, and it witnessed both the rise and fall of the world’s greatest empires.
Hi there! Welcome to Stories that made us. In this episode, we talk about one of the most prominent civilizations of the world. It is, of course, the ancient Egyptians.
Starting around 5500 BCE two major kingdoms developed along the Nile - the Upper and Lower Egypt. Around 3200 BCE, Egypt was brought together under one ruler—King Narmer, or Menes. This unification became the beginning of Egyptian civilization.
Religion, devotion, and worship were at the center of Egyptian life. The Egyptian king was the absolute ruler and owner of his kingdom. He was known as the “pharaoh” and was thought to be a living God who would be with them and look after them forever in eternity.
It is therefore unsurprising that their creation story begins with the formation of the universe, and ends with the establishment of the line of Pharaohs. This episode is their tale of our origin.

Hi there! Welcome to Stories That Made Us. This week, we traverse through the great African continent and bring you the creation myths of four tribes - the Dinka of South Sudan, the Dogon of Mali, and Burkina Faso, the Efe of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Efik of Nigeria and Cameroon.
African mythology is as beautiful as it is vast. The continent, after all, contains many languages, tribes, and cultures as diverse as the Nilotic peoples of Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and more, to the San and Shona in southern Africa.
The first tale is of the Dinka. They are the descendants of an ancient people who are native to South Sudan and had settled along the river Nile. This particular name "Dinka" has been given to them by the Europeans. They actually call themselves Muonjang or Jieng.
They have traditionally engaged in agriculture and animal rearing and herding. Domesticating and rearing cattle constitutes a major part of their livelihood. The animal is of supreme importance to the Dinka, from a cultural as well as a practical point. The cattle form the basis of Dinka livelihood, religion, and social structure.
Their creator god is a divine force, Nhialic. He is the high god and the source of sustenance. The creation of humans is the centerpiece of their origin myth, and Nhialic, also known as Divinity or Supreme Being, rarely bothers itself with the affairs of mankind.
The next story is of the Dogon.
The Dogon people of Africa live near and around the famous Bandiagara Cliffs in the central plateau region of present-day Mali and Burkina Faso in West Africa. Their creation story is one of the most elaborate and fascinating explanations of the origins of the world and of human culture.
The third story is of the Efe. The Efe are people of the Ituri forest region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The tribe, along with the Aka, Sua, and Mbuti, are collectively known as Bambuti, or more commonly, Pygmies. Theirs is a patrilineal culture and the people have flourished predominantly as hunter-gatherers. The Efe, like the other tribes, have lived in the Ituri Forest since as early as twenty-five hundred BC. Interestingly, the Pharoah Nefrikare of Egypt knew of them and called the people "the dancing dwarves" and "people of the trees". Their story is more of an origin of death rather than a fully developed creation myth.
The final story is of the Efik.
They are inhabitants of the Cross River state of Nigeria and Cameroon. They are a patriarchal tribe that is led by a king.

Hi there! Welcome to Stories That Made Us. This week, we talk about the creation myths of the Creeks, Crows, and Diegueno. They are all Native American tribes of the United States.
The first story is of the Creeks, also known as Muskogee. They are made up of several tribes that had originally lived in the states of Georgia and Alabama. They were a part of the "five civilized tribes" - others being Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole.
They lived a sedentary life, and their livelihoods predominantly consisted of agriculture. They were notorious during the early years of American settlement. The 1813 war between the United States and the Red Stick faction of the Creek Nation was particularly disastrous. The Creeks were responsible for the sacking of Fort Mims, killing nearly 400 settlers. In retaliation, General Andrew Jackson defeated the Red Sticks and exacted a secession of 23 million acres of land from the tribes. After Jackson became the President, he forcibly removed the Creeks to Oklahoma, prying them from their native lands in Alabama and Georgia.
The tale we will be discussing is told by Muskeke Iskwew, a Creek medicine woman. It is a story of how peace and harmony first reigned between animals and humans. Eventually, human greed disrupted this harmony and caused many of the problems that we face today. The underlying belief is the sacredness of animals, and the destruction and corruption brought about by humans to Creation.
The second story is of the Crow. These Native American people call themselves Apsaalooke, meaning "children of the large-beaked bird" or Absarkoes, which means "sparrow hawks". They are a member of the Siouan family and live predominantly on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana. The Crow Nation originally comprised of over 38 million acres, but it shrank to less than 2.2 million acres after treaties with the United States government. Their creation myth, like many Native American stories, tell an earth diver story where the world is discovered by ducks that dived underwater to find land. The story also involves a creator and a trickster. In this tale, the creator is Old Man Coyote, and the trickster is Little coyote.
The final story is of the Diegueno. Also known as San Diegueno, they are a group of Yuman speaking Native Americans who originally lived on either side of the Mexican and the United States border, comprising of Californian and Baja Californian lands. They were named after the mission of San Diego. The coastal tribespeople mostly lived on fish and mollusks, while the inland Diegueno engaged in agriculture. They were known for handicrafts such as pottery and baskets.

Hi there! Welcome to the thirteenth episode of Stories That Made Us where we continue our journey across cultures to bring to you the stories of our origin and the creation of the world. This episode is about the tale of the Chukchi. They are the paleo-asiatic people of northeastern Siberia. They inhabit the Chukchi peninsula and the shores of the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea regions of the Arctic Ocean. They are closely related to the Inuit and Yupik just across the Bering Straits of North America. In fact, recent studies suggest that they are the closest relatives of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Their livelihood has traditionally revolved around reindeer herding, hunting, and fishing.
Their story is an interesting tale of creation by defecation and urination, which is how the raven - their creator shaman - creates land, and all the features upon it. The Chukchi have a shamanistic religion and believe that both animate and inanimate objects possess spirits of their own. In this tale, the raven is depicted as the first shaman who brings forth all creation in our world. Hope you get to check out their story of our origin.

Welcome to Stories That Made Us. In this episode, we feature creation myths of three rather interesting tribes. The first is the tale of the San people of southern Africa, who are perhaps better known as Bushmen. We then travel all the way to southeastern Australia to hear the creation myth of the indigenous tribes. The episode then concludes in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, as we recount the story of the tribes of the Ceram island!

Hi there! Welcome to the tenth episode of Stories That Made Us! In this season, we visit the creation stories from around the world. This episode covers the Buddhist tale of our origin.
Now, Buddhism does not have a "creation myth" in the traditional sense. The religion, after all, is atheist in its core. In fact, questions about the eternity or infinity of the universe are counted among the 14 unanswerable questions which the Buddha maintained were counterproductive areas of speculation. He insisted that time and effort were better spent in achieving the meaningful goal of self-realization than to discuss and debate hypothetical questions like these.
However, there is a tale in the Agganna Sutta that may be considered as the Buddhist creation myth. Many believe this text to be a satirical fable. They claim that this sutta is less about creation and is more of a refutation of the caste system, which is a prevalent Hindu ideology of a rigid class system determined by birth. Nevertheless, this tale was orally handed down to generations, until it was finally transcribed around the first century BC.
Regardless of whether one believes the fable to be a creation myth or not, it remains a doorway to our understanding of Buddhist thought. In fact, Buddha's message in the text is clear, that the most important thing in the world is Truth or Dhamma and everything is created, measured, and valued based on this Truth.

Hi there! Welcome to Stories That Made Us. In this episode, we explore the creation myths of two Native American Tribes, the Arikara and the Arapaho.
The Arikara are semi-sedentary agricultural people of North America. They are also known as Sahnish, Arikaree, or Hundi, are a tribe of Native Americans who've traditionally lived in North Dakota. The peoples of this tribe speak a Caddoan language, quite similar to the Skidi-Pawnee tribe, with whom the Arikara were once closely associated. After many conflicts with other tribes and several major migrations, the Arikara settled with the Mandans and other native Americans in South Dakota. It is said that the term Arikara comes from the word Ariki, which means horn. The story goes that the Arikara once used bones to hold up their hair-like horns.
The Arapaho have historically lived in Wyoming and Colorado in the United States. Arapaho is a name that was given to the tribe by the Europeans. They natives refer to their own selves as Hinono'eino or Inun-ina ("our people" or "people of our own kind"). The Arapaho had extensive trade relations with many other tribes, especially the Cheyenne, Lakota, Dakota, Caddo, Wichita, and Comanche. This episode is their tales of our creation!

In today's episode, we dive into the creation myths of the Celts. The history of the ancient Celts comes to us primarily from texts by Classical authors. These include the likes of Herodotus and Hecataeus of Greece. Julius Caesar also chronicled much of their history and many of their tales. Some scholars suggest that the origins of Celts can be found in the Hallstatt culture of central Europe. Academics date it to the ninth century B.C. Others trace Celtic origins to an aristocratic warrior culture prevalent in Europe in the fifth century B.C. This was known as the La Tène culture. By the fifth century B.C., Celts were a major power in most of Europe and as far east as Galatia in modern-day Turkey. The Celts were co-inhabitants of Europe, along with the Romans and the Greeks, and were involved in numerous battles against the two. Records suggest that in 390 B.C, the Celts overran and sacked Rome. They also fought the Grecian armies in 279 B.C.
They migrated to the British Isles beginning in the fifth century B.C, and a culture unique to the islands developed over the next centuries. Cultures that can more conveniently be categorized as Irish or Welsh, for example, rather than Celtic.
In this episode, we discuss three of the more prominent creation myths that are ascribed to these peoples. There are multiple creation myths in the Celtic cosmology. Celts, after all, did occupy most of Western Europe. Many tribes or regions would have had their own tales. Furthermore, these tales were mostly documented by the Romans and the priests and monks of the Christian church. Attempts were made by these scribes to incorporate the Celtic myth as a part of Roman or Christian cosmology.

Hi there! Welcome to Stories that Made Us, where we continue with creation myths. We have a packed episode for you, beginning with the tales of the Bagobo of the Philippines and the Batak of Indonesia. They are promptly followed by The Banks Islands tribe of northern Vanuatu, the Bulu of Central Africa, and the Buryat of Mongolia and Siberia!
The Bagobo is one of the largest among the indigenous peoples of southern Philippines. They inhabit the land that extends from the west coast of Davao Gulf to the mountain ranges of Mount Apo. The Batak tribe is a group of loosely related Austronesian ethnic tribes that is predominant in Northern Sumatra and Indonesia. The Banks Islands people are inhabitants of a group of islands in northern Vanuatu. Bulu is one of several related tribes inhabiting the hilly and forested regions of Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. The Buryats are a Mongolic people and are the largest indigenous group in Siberia, mainly concentrated in their homeland, the Buryatia Republic, a federal subject of Russia.

This episode continues our focus on creation myths. Today's stories are of the Native American tribes of the Wabanaki Confederacy, the Anishinaabe, and the Blackfoot and Bloods. All these tribes could be classified under the broader context of Algonquin tribes. The first story is of the Wabanaki. It is not a tribe, but a confederacy that consists of five principal nations. These nations occupy areas of Maine in the United States. In Canada, they reside in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Quebec. The second story tells tales of the Anishinaabe. These people live in the Great Lakes area of the United States and Canada. The word Anishinaabe means "the people." Their creation myth tells a tale of a broken world. One that was destroyed and then recreated by the Kitchi-Manitou - the Great Spirit. He did this with the help of Nanaboozhoo. Our final story is of the Blackfoot and Blood tribes. They are a part of the three confederated Algonquian groups. They live in Alberta, Canada and Montana, United States.

In this episode, we take a look at the Babylonian creation myth. The Babylonians lived in the fertile crescent of Mesopotamia. This is the valley between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates in modern-day Iraq. Their great civilization followed the Sumerians and the Akkadians. Both of these cultures have had a heavy influence on the Babylonian thought and way of life. Their creation story encompasses elements from both these civilizations. The story is mentioned in great detail in the tablets of Enuma Elish.

This episode is all about the Apache tribes. Today, we speak of the creation stories of the Jicarilla, Lipans, White Mountains, and the Chiricahua! Here, we tell tales of the great spirits named Hactcin who created the Jicarilla world. Then, the Lipan story of a great emergency council that sought to leave the underworld and find earth, and the White Mountain's tale of the four grandparents who created the world for themselves. Finally, we conclude the episode with the Chiricahua tale, which gives us a cheeky insight into the difference between the Apache and the white man!
