ASMR Myths & Legends - Native American Mythology (Apache and Navajo) - Bedtime Stories

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.
