Kumugwe

By Crusader1307

A Deity from The Beliefs of The American Northwest Native American Kwakwaka'wakw Tribe – ''Kumugwe'' was a God most associated with Fish and Fishing (both of which were critical to this particular Coastal Tribe). He lived in a Hut ''under The Sea'', and was venerated during Fishing Season. In Ritual, Tribal Shaman would fashion Masks made of wood in ''His Image'', and dance in Ceremony. This, as well as offerings of food (fish), was seen as ensuring a ''Good Season''.
