Archaeologists generally agree that certain beliefs about the cosmos
are broadly shared among indigenous peoples of the Americas. Though
the details vary wildly, the world is generally seen as consisting of
three layers—the Above World, the Middle World, and the Beneath World.
While we live our every day lives in the Middle World, the Above and
Beneath Worlds are inhabited by a variety of supernatural beings. One
of the most intriguing characters to inhabit the Beneath World is the
underwater panther, a composite creature with both feline and
serpentine characteristics that is associated with the dangerous yet
beneficial powers of rivers, waterfalls, whirlpools and caves.
Hope to hear from you,
All the best,
Trish
