from Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales · host Joseph, Gabriel , and Mike Behill

Send us a textThis week, we’re taking a different path—one that starts in Cherokee and Mohawk territory and winds its way across the Americas, ending with the Rarámuri in northern Mexico. We’re not talking about monsters or murder today. We’re talking about what Indigenous people would be doing right now—planting, gathering, fishing, dreaming—and the spirits, warnings, and weirdness that come with it.We talk about the Cherokee Raven Mocker, a heart-stealing death spirit that shows up when the seasons shift. The Mohawk Stone Giants, ancient cannibal beings driven underground when humans forgot their place. The Abenaki one-legged giant, Odzihozo, who dragged himself across the landscape to shape Lake Champlain. The Crow River People, spirits beneath the water who give visions—or take lives. And the Rarámuri peyote journeys, where the Blue Deer leads chosen travelers through the spirit world.The cycle of spring, the work of survival, and the stories that still walk with us.And yeah—some of it gets weird.Stick around—next time we’re heading north into Canada and west to the coast, with even more tribes, spirits, and stories that still move with the seasons.Merch store- https://indigenoustales.threadless.com/Email us at [email protected] Also check out our Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/indigenous_tales/And our TikTok -https://www.tiktok.com/@indigenous_talesAmanda Bland Dallas area Bakeryinstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cupidsweetsbakes/Cupid Sweets- https://www.facebook.com/cupidsweets
