S4E20 - God of the Omaha
Manage episode 426965835 series 2877940
In this episode Chris is bringing you Opinion Scholarship on the religion of the Omaha tribe, indigenous to the Ohio Valley in the United States. More specifically, on their conception of God, whom they call Wakonda and their Sioux cousins call Wakan Tanka. We explore the fascinating form of henotheism or even monotheism that the Omaha practice and dive deeply into the opening line of their creation story, which reads: "At the beginning all things were in the Mind of Wakonda."
Enjoy ;)
