Cherokee Tribe And The Ancient Beings Called Nunnehi: Are They Travelers From Other Worlds?!
Strangers a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳n̳s with teleportation and invisibility are described in Cherokee mythology e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳. Even in battles against invading armies, they fought with them.
Nunnehi, as the Cherokee call them, are strange beings. The Nunnehi were enigmatic supernatural entities that had a favorable impact on this tribe, even helping them fight off local and European invaders. The Cherokee are Aboriginal people who inhabit Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. They are also known as the Check.
Nunnehi.
They are deeply spiritual people who believe in three worlds: the Upper World, the East and the Lower World. According to the Cherokee, spiritual strength can also be found in this realm, the physical terrestrial world. It can be found throughout nature, including rocks, rivers, plants and animals. Even natural structures such as those found in caves and mountains can be a source of inspiration.
The Nunnehi are described as simple, intangible entities with the ability to materialize at will. They also transformed into a warrior form that was more human.
They were similar to Native Americans, but had a “supernatural” or “e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳” quality about them. Nunne’hi means “travelers”, but it also means “those who live anywhere”, as they lived in different parts of the country. They were thought to be e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳l̳s with superhuman abilities, including invisibility from above, teleportation, and most unexpectedly, immortality.
They helped travelers who got lost in the desert or became seriously ill by transporting them to their subterranean worlds to be healed. Some Cherokees even moved in with them permanently.
They fought alongside the Cherokees in their battles against the invaders.
The Nunnehi regularly joined this Native American tribe during struggles against European immigrants or invaders. When the Cherokees began to forcibly retreat from their homeland on Mount Nikwais in North Carolina, an unknown entity, along with another battalion, appeared to challenge the invaders; marveled at unseen things.
Ethnologist James Mooney compiled legends about the dwellings of these beings built in a circular depression of the ground in his 1898 book Cherokee Myths. The mansion, which was built in the style of Cherokee villages and located near the A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ town of Tugaloo, was comparable to the Cherokee villages. The people who lived there were intangible – they didn’t have anyone. Whenever garbage or rubbish was thrown into that residence, it was quickly cleaned up. English settlers experienced the same unique experience.
They were thought to be humanoids with superhuman abilities. Blood Mountain, Georgia, near Lake Trahlyta, Pilot Knob Mountain, Colorado, and Mount Nikwasi are home to the Nunnehi. Several of these formations are considered ancient man-made constructions created by these entities.
So could these Nunnehi have been e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳l̳s who spoke regularly with the Cherokees? Other American stories, such as “Ant People” by the Hopi Indians, reference similar spirits.
