Channel: The French Whisperer ASMR

Category: Education

Description: In this ASMR/bedtime stories video, I tell you about several creation myths from the Apache and Navajo traditions, including the Kiowa Apache myth of Kuterastan and the Navajo Diné Bahaneʼ ("Story of the People"). We also discuss the historical roots of these peoples in the American Southwest and the north of Mexico, how they used to live, their linguistic connections across North America, and the figure of Geronimo. "Lost Cities" video that includes the Mesa Verde story: youtu.be/PAMzUGSLOBM The symbols on the props are Adinkra symbols from West Africa (Ghana). Not ideal for a video on Native American cultures, but this is what I had to create an atmosphere for the video. You can learn more about Adinkra symbols here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adinkra_symbols Credits: Script and narration by the French Whisperer, visuals by the French Whisperer, under Wikipedia Commons, or under license from Panthermedia and Shutterstock. Sound effects and music from the YouTube Audio Library for Creators.
