in various Native American traditions we
have different spiritual beings located
on these sort of different planes of
existence and there's a wonderful range
of stories in many many Native American
groups that talk about some of the
adventures and interactions with the sky
people with the humans on earth
for the black put the most prominent of
these guy beings is the one they credit
with their creation nabhi the creator
god of the Blackfoot is called nappy and
in this petroglyph he can be seen what
appears to be inside of a disc and he's
very strange-looking cuz he's got four
fingers he's got sort of an elongated
skull
[Music]
the black butt tell a really interesting
creation myth about nappy they tell how
it came to earth and created various
animals and and other creatures and then
one day he decided to form a living
human being out of clay
and then he goes and leaves the
Blackfoot alone
but he promises that he's going to
return
the Blackfoot regard Navi not as
mythological but as a real being who
descended from the heavens
so the star people in May of American
traditions are beings who came from the
cosmos and taught the arts of
civilization agriculture medicine
healing and they bought maps of the
cosmos to earth throughout especially
the western part of America we find
petroglyph for rock art that portrays
what appear to be star beings people can
look at this art and say that's a
depiction of an extraterrestrial and
this is one way that the First Nations
people recorded their interactions with
the star people could this petroglyph of
Navi be a depiction of a being that the
ancient Blackfoot encountered coming
down from the sky
and might this provide further evidence
that the local indigenous populations
were visited by extraterrestrials
ancient astronaut theorists say yes and
believe the Badlands guardian may reveal
how the ancients communicated with these
otherworldly visitors now the headdress
that he wears is called a Medicine Hat
which it's not a Chiefs regalia that you
would see with all the feathers going
down that a chief would wear what a
Medicine Hat entails is it incorporates
the tail feathers of an eagle and these
are normally worn by the medicine man
for the medicine man this is a wisdom
figure it's a combination of professor
doctor and priest all in one person the
Hat is what we tend to call a headdress
the shamanic ceremonial leader uses that
to make contact with invisible
dimensions often thought of as upper
worlds
in which contact is made with spirits
God's energy that is beyond our
understand
the fact that he's wearing a medicine
hat that acts as a antenna tells us that
this is a figure who was in
communication with otherworldly beings
maybe even the star people
