"Their religious practices are of great historical interest because they retain some extremely archaic forms of belief. Among the most ancient ideas are spiritualization of all natural phenomena and personification of them, belief in upper, middle, and lower worlds, as well as belief in the soul (omi) and certain totemistic concepts. There were also various magical rituals associated with hunting and guarding herds, most of which were conducted by shamans. (The word “shaman” is an Evenki word, introduced to the Western world by the Russians.)" It sounds like with the right leadership they might narrow that down (in time) to one God! The lucky Priest family who can step into this position and do a few magic tricks and instill a ruthless terror through tribal rape and genocide (always under an invisible Commander in Chief)--might just be set for a few generations of free food and goodies! When the gods are invisible, there are no parameters to the schemes and machinations they may concoct!
