Stories That Made Us

7. The Austronesian Bagobo, Batak,and Banks Islands Tribes, African Bulu and Asian Buryat Tribes

Season 1, Ep. 7

Hi there! Welcome to Stories that Made Us, where we continue with creation myths. We have a packed episode for you, beginning with the tales of the Bagobo of the Philippines and the Batak of Indonesia. They are promptly followed by The Banks Islands tribe of northern Vanuatu, the Bulu of Central Africa, and the Buryat of Mongolia and Siberia!


The Bagobo is one of the largest among the indigenous peoples of southern Philippines. They inhabit the land that extends from the west coast of Davao Gulf to the mountain ranges of Mount Apo. The Batak tribe is a group of loosely related Austronesian ethnic tribes that is predominant in Northern Sumatra and Indonesia. The Banks Islands people are inhabitants of a group of islands in northern Vanuatu. Bulu is one of several related tribes inhabiting the hilly and forested regions of Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. The Buryats are a Mongolic people and are the largest indigenous group in Siberia, mainly concentrated in their homeland, the Buryatia Republic, a federal subject of Russia.

  • 6. 6. The Algonquian Native American Tribes: Wabanaki, Anishinaabe, BlackFoot and Blood

    40:04||Season 1, Ep. 6
    This episode continues our focus on creation myths. Today's stories are of the Native American tribes of the Wabanaki Confederacy, the Anishinaabe, and the Blackfoot and Bloods. All these tribes could be classified under the broader context of Algonquin tribes. The first story is of the Wabanaki. It is not a tribe, but a confederacy that consists of five principal nations. These nations occupy areas of Maine in the United States. In Canada, they reside in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Quebec. The second story tells tales of the Anishinaabe. These people live in the Great Lakes area of the United States and Canada. The word Anishinaabe means "the people." Their creation myth tells a tale of a broken world. One that was destroyed and then recreated by the Kitchi-Manitou - the Great Spirit. He did this with the help of Nanaboozhoo. Our final story is of the Blackfoot and Blood tribes. They are a part of the three confederated Algonquian groups. They live in Alberta, Canada and Montana, United States.I hope you enjoy the stories. If you do, please leave a rating and feedback. Share and subscribe!

  • 5. 5. The Babylonians of Iraq

    35:13||Season 1, Ep. 5
    In this episode, we take a look at the Babylonian creation myth. The Babylonians lived in the fertile crescent of Mesopotamia. This is the valley between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates in modern-day Iraq. Their great civilization followed the Sumerians and the Akkadians. Both of these cultures have had a heavy influence on the Babylonian thought and way of life. Their creation story encompasses elements from both these civilizations. The story is mentioned in great detail in the tablets of Enuma Elish.I hope you enjoy the stories. If you do, please leave a rating and feedback. Share and subscribe!

  • 4. 4. The Apache Native American Tribes

    35:54||Season 1, Ep. 4
    This episode is all about the Apache tribes. Today, we speak of the creation stories of the Jicarilla, Lipans, White Mountains, and the Chiricahua! Here, we tell tales of the great spirits named Hactcin who created the Jicarilla world. Then, the Lipan story of a great emergency council that sought to leave the underworld and find earth, and the White Mountain's tale of the four grandparents who created the world for themselves. Finally, we conclude the episode with the Chiricahua tale, which gives us a cheeky insight into the difference between the Apache and the white man!  I hope you enjoy the stories.
