Comments:
Collectively, the Native American Gods seem to
be made up of a collection of interconnected familes known
together as the Anasazi. Separated, they are known as the Innua
(gods of the North West), Manitou (North East gods), Orenda
(South East gods) and the Kachina (South West Gods). A parallel
can be found in the Asgardian Aesir and Vanir, Celtic Danaans and
Fomore and the Greek Olympians and Titans.)
It is as yet uncertain whether this race of gods is to be
considered (in the Marvel Universe) a separate pantheon from the
rest of the Native American Gods, the Anasazi.
Sedna dwelled in the undersea realm of Adlivun.
Other possible Inuit gods in the MU include Ranaq, Kolomaq, Kariooq, Somon, Tanaraq and Tolomaq who have appeared in various issues of Alpha Flight. Of these, only Tanaraq seems to have any basis in myth, and only as the legendary Sasquatch.
