Mojave Desert Indians > MAP Mohave Indians MOJAVE ETHNOGRAPHY & ETHNOHISTORY Religion
According to the Mojave creation story, the Creator matavi•P'a, born of Sky and Earth, offended his daughter,
who then killed him by witchcraft. He was cremated and the Great Dark House he had built was burned, setting
a precedent for Mojave funerals. Mastamho, son or younger brother of matavi•P'a, created a mountain, Avikwame,
and lived on it while he finished the creation process and allotted land to the Walapai, Yavapai, Chemehuevi,
Quechan, and Mojave. He taught human beings how to subsist on their land, and how to behave.
