Some of these tribes living at the base of the Rocky Mountains and in the plains of Venezuela and the Pampa del Sacramento in South America make annual pilgrimages to the fancied summits where the antediluvian species were saved in canoes or otherwise and under the mysterious regulations of their medicine or mystery men tender their prayers and sacrifices to the Great Spirit to ensure their exemption."

from a similar catastrophe. Now, regular historians or anybody mainstream, they say, well, obviously, you know, there must have been missionaries that, you know, they came and they told them the story of Noah and then they grafted this on to their you know, to their theology, and it became a central part. Problem was, many of these tribes, Catlin was the first white man they'd ever seen.

They didn't hear it from missionaries. They had their own independent traditions. Next slide, Ryan. How far these general traditions of a flood relate to a universal deluge or to local cataclysm of which there have evidently been one or more over portions of the American continent, or whether there has been a universal deluge and at what period, it is difficult to determine.

One thing, however, is certain. The Indian traditions everywhere point distinctly to at least one such event, and amongst the Central and Southern tribes, they as distinctly point to two such catastrophes, in which their race was chiefly destroyed.

and the rocks of their countries bear evidence, yet more conclusive, of the same calamities which probably swept off the populations in the plains, and as their traditions say, left scattered remnants on the summits of the Andes and the Rocky Mountains.

Amongst all these tribes, as well as amongst the present Mexicans and the numerous tribes to the north, even to the Kiowas and the Comanches, I have found distinct traditions of three successive cataclysms, two by water and one by fire.

And in the rocks and mountains both in the West India Islands and on the Mexican coast, as well as in Yucatan and its ruins, I have found from chemical and geological tests undeniable evidences of the same catastrophes.

Now, of course, this was completely ignored by geology, which, you know, subsequent to this, Lyellian uniformitarianism became the primary dogma of geology once it became an academic discipline in the late 1800s. And at that point, all references to great floods, deluges, catastrophes was expunged from the curriculum. Why? Well...
