In this episode of the Peyakoskan Podcast, Xander and Natal delve into various myths and legends from the Americas, with special emphasis on Indigenous stories. They discuss the origins of Halloween and cultural traditions like Mexico's Day of the Dead, where families clean their ancestors' bones. The conversation spans tales of tricksters and supernatural beings like the Siwan Nava, El Theo, Skin Walkers, and Wendigos, exploring how these legends teach moral lessons or explain cultural phenomena. Personal anecdotes of eerie encounters in nature add a suspenseful and engaging touch. The hosts also reflect on the differences between Indigenous spiritual beliefs and Western perspectives, concluding with a suggestion to smudge for spiritual protection.
