hey bobby ma. i wonder if you ever heard of the album eskimo by the group the residents. it's an interesting and very strange concept album, and i wonder what you'd think of it.
I remember hearing one Inuit myth about the northern lights. (This story could vary from person to person, also it has been a while since I’ve heard this story so I might get a few details wrong) It pretty much says that the northern lights are the playful spirits of dead children. One must be careful and not stay out for too long under the northern lights because they will pick up your head and play with it like a ball.
interesting. where i'm from(northern alaska), we were warned as kids not to whistle at the northern lights as it would provoke them to come down and chop off our heads.
The vivid memories of fright and excitement when I whistled just before entering the house back in when I was noob. And the scolding when grandma tasted the salt on my boots. She told about the greenish fish scale women of the sea ready to snatch you - as she pinched my butt making eating sounds
finally, a channel who did proper research, addresses why 'eskimo' is outdated, addresses how Arctic Indigenous groups are very diverse and that Inuit is just a blanket term, and actually puts effort into trying to pronounce our words properly 😭 such a breath of fresh air! thank you for this video, i appreciate it plenty! qujannamiik!
Ainu mythology is very rich as well, they have plenty of these gods called kamuy that rather than propper gods are more like representation of the phenomena or forces of nature. It's similar to the japanese kami mithology, that personally is my favourite and which I'm specializing in. Japan has a lot to say when it comes to myths and legend, trust me ~.
@@湖露潪澗瀬川傘 In fact, it's theorized that the Ainu word カムイ (kamuy) may have been an ancient loan from Proto-Japonic *kamuy, whence also Modern Japanese 神 (kami).
@@ashlaskash I heard something about that theory too, interesting, isn't ? Well I thought that was the other way around, that the word was lended from ainu by japanese.
@@b.a.k5367 Mythology is a term for a collection of stories and legends surrounding a culture/religion. Everything is a myth, myth does not intrinsically mean "not real/fake".
I would love for you to cover: - Slavic mythology, but with a focus on the Balkan variety! The Russian version has been covered time and time again. - Chinese mythology - Hungarian mythology - different African mythologies (sorry Idk more precise mythology group names) - Israeli mythology
And to add to this I'm awlays looking for Anishinaabe or Cree mythology. I live in Ontario, Canada and so I'm trying to find mythology of the native people here. It is very hard for me to do so with the only one I find usually being the Wendigo Edit: Changed Algonquin to Anishinaabe because that is what they call themselves and it is more common to call the people Anishinaabe rather than Algonquin
THIS. I requested some of those topics under the last video,but I honestly didn't think about the balkan stuff at that time. I'd also throw the arabic mythologies into the mix
Chinese mythology is kinda covered nowadays. Much better if he can cover some South East Asian Mythology and mythology of lesser known like mythology in Oceania and Pacific regions.
I'm from the Canary Islands and have always been fascinated by the indigenous people who lived in the archipelago. I'd love for you to cover their mythology, though it might not be an easy task, for much of it has been lost, and each island had its own mythology
I learned a little bit about Iroquois mythology in grade school, and would love to hear more about it, or perhaps the myths of the indigenous peoples of the Northeastern US in general.
@@jmgonzales7701 I guess Christian? Faust is a legend based on beliefs about making a deal with the devil and Mephistopheles is from a very similar background. They’re both important in German Christian folklore. I suppose they’re not “canon” in the same way that saints aren’t because they aren’t mentioned in the Bible. Just stories from folklore with Christian details.
Basque mythology would be awesome, it has a ton of interesting stories and it's one of the richest in Europe even though the Basque Country is quite small
I have to say, I grew up in a small village in Alaska, I grew up around the Inuit language, and you do a fantastic job at pronouncing our words, it's not an easy language to pick up, and you say some of the words like you have been living with the natives for years
i’d love it if you did a video on Philippine mythology ! it’s really interesting, as for such a tiny archipelago, we had many different mythologies, usually stemming from different regions and dialects. there are so many things to read and learn about, especially the different creatures and deities in folklore.
@@theodorekaczynski1683 wtf... brov these kids weren't registered as dieing of natural causes. The schools "disappeared" the kids and their families were yelling for the past 50+ years that the school authorities (mostly catholic) were killing their kids.
As a massive fan of the "Altaic" cultures, I would really apreciate a video on the traditional Tengriist myths, which have all too little content here on RUclips.
I'm Iñupiaq (one of the Inuit of Alaska). You did a pretty good job covering these stories. My people didn't meet anyone outside of other Indigenous to Alaska until 1890. But... We lost a LOT of our information because of colonization since then. Like Canada, we had boarding schools we legally had to attend that were religious and harmed our people. Some people don't remember the stories from before while others tried to find peole to pass that information along. Another mythical creature my family members talk about are the little people (I forget the word, but none of the words you used were from my people's "kingdom"). The little people steal things and might return them later, usually for fun. One of my aunties mentions them whenever she is looking in her pockets for something like a pen and can't find it. There are three other deities. The Raven is our creator, though we were made on accident. And two sisters (I believe) who watch over the dead until they are reincarnated. One who helps them travel and the other to cares for them in the Northern Lights (though not in Utqiagvik, where the Northern Lights are evil and will kidnap you). The last two might be from Canada... I haven't heard anyone here talk about them, though I found references when researching them. We didn't have a written language until my grandmother was in college helping create the first dictionary for Iñupiat (she didn't lead it, but I'm proud of her).
A study found that over 95% of my people have died due to colonization since 1890. So this has impacted a LOT of our culture. It's common to find people in Alaska who are Native who are Christian, who hate Christianity, and who are trying to revive the old ways, languages, and more. Also, I forgot to mention that the Yupik are included under the Inuit umbrella, though they aren't included on your map of Inuit people.
I’m an Inuk from Nunavut, and we call the mythical little people “Inuralaaq”. My community would document lost items found under their house, believing it was an inuralaaq living under their house. I hope that helped with finding the word in Iñupiat
Seeing an Indigenous Australian Mythology video would be amazing! I've binged many of your videos in the last 12 hours and they are so encapsulating, keep it up please!!!
I know there's only two episodes so far, and it's been six months since this one came out, but I would absolutely love to see more from this series. There's a whole world of stories out there, but we rarely hear any outside of the mainstream Western, Middle Eastern, Indian, and East Asian canons. Africa, Siberia, the Americas, and even more obscure parts of the aforementioned regions have so many tales to tell that we just never get to hear.
It'd be really cool if you talked about the Bön religion of Tibet and the influence it has had on Tibetan Buddhism and vice versa. Great video by the way!
Really enjoyed the video! Maybe you could do Indonesian mythology for the next episode. There's a lot of myth and interesting deities from varying ancient kingdoms
Dude, from random and obscure Christian fun facts to exploring lesser known religions and mythologies. Your channel just keeps getting more and more interesting. Can't wait to see what you dive into next!
The video was perfect. It even instigated me to start learning Greenlandic again (just like your Baltic Paganism video instigated me to learn Lithuanian). I'd like to ask you to do a video covering Guarani/Tupi mythology, from Brazil/Paraguay/Argentina. My grand-grandmother was an Indigenous woman and I'm fascinated by the stories of Tupã, Jasy and Nhandevurusu.
As an Inuk, this video got every myth right, just as I heard these myths growing up. The pronunciations of the Inuit language through that smooth British accent were on point.
If you continue the series, please always introduce episodes by mentioning the traditional house and food of the culture in the video, it really sets the tone 😁
I am a Murri / Badu Island man of Australia, I would love for you to include our people in one of your videos. Once again, thank you for your awesome work.
I've been incredibly interested in circumpolar cultures for years now, but easily accessible resources aren't super common for me, so thank you so much for making this video.
Just came across this channel, I have always loved mythology and learning more about Inuit mythology was amazing! I also think it would be cool to learn about African beliefs
This video was uploaded three hours ago, is private and has no views yet... to everyone who somehow finds this as well, you're now a part of our secret club. 🤝
Really enjoyed this! Just fascinating! You know the mythos of Scotland has been much mashed up and confused. I'd be awfully interested to see you unscramble it. You do a very fine job! Blessings! Francis
It'll be cool if you'd cover purépecha folklore, I'm part purépecha on my mom's side. People often forget that there is other indigenous tribes in Mexico. I love the story of Princesa Eréndira.
Finnish mythology is extremely dense and underappreciated and I think it would make for an incredible video. I didn't truly appreciate this until playing a call of cthulhu campaign which used Finnish mythology in a modern setting... Since then I've tried to digest as much content on the topic as I can
Honestly any of the indigenous mythologies are obscure and would love to see more of them! Whatever you can get your hands on! Didn't expect this from this channel, nice choice!
Love the video and can’t wait for more! My mothers family is Caribbean, and I’ve always been curious about the Taino/Arawak mythology. I know some basic myths (such as where the English word “hurricane” originated, and the coconut masks - called vejigantes - of my native culture) but I’ve always found it difficult to find out more information on it. I would love if one of the upcoming obscure mythologies videos was on that topic. Keep up the great work!
Wow, I am so loving this series!!! Obscure mythologies is right; most channels just tread the same old Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse, Celtic and Irish, Chinese and Japanese mythologies. If you're doing Inuit, I would love to see Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe, as well as some East and West coast peoples!!! And as mentioned in the previous video's comments, Mari paganism from Mari El in Russia would be fantastic as well!! This is quickly becoming one of my favourite RUclips channels/shows, right up there with Metatron, Monstrum, Crash Course, etc.!
I'd love to see the mythology of some overlooked South Asian cultures. Examples: Nepali mythology Bhutanese Mythology Bengali/Bangladeshi mythology- I'd love this one since I'm Bengali myself lol Some stuff on Hindu mythology would be super interesting Jainism and Zoroastrianism since I know nothing about those
I want to see more on specifically Mongol mythology, as there's some cool stories there that don't get as much love, comparatively to other Asian cultures. Central Asia in general needs more love, really.
I've been curious about the Aztec mythology. I know there was always a lot of sacrifices to the sun god, but I also want to know about what other gods existed and how they played a role in the every day lives of the Mejica.
When I took religion class in Denmark, Inuit mythology came up. You would be surprised at the many rules pertaining specifically to pregnant and menstruating women
You know, learning about these obscure mythologies in my own time, I was convinced to make my own series. Hopefully there won't be a lot of overlap because what you got is some AWESOME work my friend!
So glad I found your channel! I would love to see you cover the gnosticism, the spirituality of spetsnaz (ultra obscure), and Amazonian shamanism. Thanks so much!
something i really respect about indigenous cultures is their deep respect for nature,, the world would be a better place if all cultures around the world valued nature as much as indigenous people do
Norse never meet inuit. Inuit weren't in Greenland til 300 years later. Norse meet skrealing who were the Thule people. The inuit wiped them off the face of the earth. Inuit must of not thought to highly of them. RIP.
Happy, as a Canadian this gets included. But I'm still gonna loiter in these comment sections begging for a video about Finnish Paganism; the most bleak and drab religion ever conjured. It is sinister and dark, yet extremely reverent in some odd way. I find it to be the most interesting belief system I know of; one where you can sacrifice your own children as a tertiary appeasement to an angry soul, or where their concept of heaven is comparable to ours of Hell, and where the people were not to hesitant to convert to Christianity to be rid of their dark beliefs.
As an Italian I don't know anything about my nation's folklore (well, except for the malocchio but that's just a word for bad luck so it doesn't really count I guess). When I found a Wikipedia article about it there was so much stuff and I couldn't recognize even just one of the names I read. I'd love to see you cover it one day, even though I realize it's may not be as obscure as the inuit one
@@weareallbornmad410 Exactly!! Even my grand parents have never mentioned anything about it so it must be sething really buried in the past. Also since Italy has always been divided in smaller "realms" during history (nowadays they're just regions) there are very different myths depending on where you pick from
Love this! I love seeing the similarities and differences among different cultures' mythologies. I'm glad this is a series now. I'd be interested in seeing some videos about ancient Asian myths - from far east to near east: Mesopotamian, Mongolian, Korean, Persian, Canaanite, and anything in between.
As an inuk, it's awesome to see my culture here on RUclips especially covered by one of my favourite creators.
We Always love the Native American people.

It's nice to know more about your people's history💕 Love from the Philippines 💖
@@mohammadzaid1221 Huh, I never really considered that Inuit would technically count as Native American. Neat.
i’m filipino and researching our precolonial mythology has been so fascinating i would love to see a video about that

YES
It depends on what filipino mythology.. we have tagalog mythology, ilocano mythology, visayan mythology tausug mythology etc. Etc
First thing you do is find your lineage, what ethnolinguistic group you belong.
Also, look up Aswang Project, he has a RUclips channel dedicated to Filipino mythology and a Facebook page too.

Easily one of my favourite channels nowadays. Thanks!
I Would Love to see an Obscure Mythologies Episode on ZULU Mythology. African Mythologies are bonkers.
Bro you just made my day so hard it hurts! Incredible work as always! I always wondered where the baby seals went!
I'd love to see a video about berber/amazigh mythology in this series
Thank you for covering a subject of my people that I never knew 'cause I was adopted. I feel really more connected to my nation now.
I want to see more on specifically Mongol mythology, as there's some cool stories there that don't get as much love, comparatively to other Asian cultures. Central Asia in general needs more love, really.
It would awesome to see some Hindu mythology videos. There are a lot of wonderful legends to dive into. Great video as always !
I've been curious about the Aztec mythology. I know there was always a lot of sacrifices to the sun god, but I also want to know about what other gods existed and how they played a role in the every day lives of the Mejica.
Obscure mythology is one of my favorite things. Iam so happy about this series!!!
When I took religion class in Denmark, Inuit mythology came up. You would be surprised at the many rules pertaining specifically to pregnant and menstruating women
As someone who lives in the Canadian Arctic while not being Inuit it's nice to know some of their mythology in detail.
You know, learning about these obscure mythologies in my own time, I was convinced to make my own series. Hopefully there won't be a lot of overlap because what you got is some AWESOME work my friend!
Great vids! Weird History sent me here. +Subscribed!!!
loved this vid would also love to see native American/Canadian mythology
@Linguiste ik ik any of them lol I'm native myself but know nothing about it
So glad I found your channel! I would love to see you cover the gnosticism, the spirituality of spetsnaz (ultra obscure), and Amazonian shamanism. Thanks so much!
Hi, I'm trying to look for more info on the spirituality of spetsnaz but failed to see any online. Can you share sources?
Could you do more about Dante's work
I'd love it if you could make a video on Hindu Mythology! Btw, how the hell are your videos soooo addictive 😭😭🙏🏼
Hey Hochelaga can you do a video about Amazigh (north Africa's natives) mythology
Berber / Amazigh mythology would make for a great video
I would love to see you cover my people, the hopi people! I just discovered you and your videos are really good!
I would like you to cover the Zoroastrianism or African mythology 😊
@Mythology Unveiled yo I'm actually subbed to your channel. Very interesting to say the least ❤️
something i really respect about indigenous cultures is their deep respect for nature,, the world would be a better place if all cultures around the world valued nature as much as indigenous people do
Its weird how Viking call Inuit, "Barbarian and savage" for raiding them when they also did the raiding on other cultures
Norse never meet inuit. Inuit weren't in Greenland til 300 years later. Norse meet skrealing who were the Thule people. The inuit wiped them off the face of the earth. Inuit must of not thought to highly of them. RIP.
I really vibe with the respect of the balance of life between people and animals revolving around these stories
I’d love to see Finnish Mythology covered
This is officially my new favorite series on youtube
Happy, as a Canadian this gets included. But I'm still gonna loiter in these comment sections begging for a video about Finnish Paganism; the most bleak and drab religion ever conjured. It is sinister and dark, yet extremely reverent in some odd way. I find it to be the most interesting belief system I know of; one where you can sacrifice your own children as a tertiary appeasement to an angry soul, or where their concept of heaven is comparable to ours of Hell, and where the people were not to hesitant to convert to Christianity to be rid of their dark beliefs.
You should make an episode on the Evil Eye! Ive just recently read about it and find it fascinating
Navajo folklore would be an amazing topic
Yes, Navajo mythology is dope as hell
Great video- couldn't wait to subscribe! Could you do something on Siberian mythology and shamanism?
As an Italian I don't know anything about my nation's folklore (well, except for the malocchio but that's just a word for bad luck so it doesn't really count I guess). When I found a Wikipedia article about it there was so much stuff and I couldn't recognize even just one of the names I read. I'd love to see you cover it one day, even though I realize it's may not be as obscure as the inuit one
Seems pretty obscure to me :)
@@weareallbornmad410 Exactly!! Even my grand parents have never mentioned anything about it so it must be sething really buried in the past. Also since Italy has always been divided in smaller "realms" during history (nowadays they're just regions) there are very different myths depending on where you pick from
You mean there's more than just Roman mythos?
YOU DID IT MADMAN! MY NEW FAVOURITE SERIES ON RUclips
Please cover the baffling insanity that is the Kalevala and Finnish mythology in general.
Love this! I love seeing the similarities and differences among different cultures' mythologies. I'm glad this is a series now. I'd be interested in seeing some videos about ancient Asian myths - from far east to near east: Mesopotamian, Mongolian, Korean, Persian, Canaanite, and anything in between.
