Little people have been a part of folklore in many cultures and have been seen worldwide as dwarves, fairies, trolls and leprechauns. Folklore is a means we use to understand our surroundings, to teach lessons and to express a culture’s vision of the natural world and the spiritual side of life. In this episode of Red Earth Uncovered, Shayla Lightstone talks to Rick Lightning from the Samson Cree First Nation, who tells her about the “little people” who lived in his home. He believes these people are inter-dimensional.
Take an adventure to places where world-renowned mysteries remain elusive. Myths such as Ogopogo and Sasquatch. Red Earth Uncovered seeks to learn the possibilities and truths about what could be. Tom Jackson and Shayla Stonechild lead the investigation of archaeological discoveries and ancient myths to uncover how Indigenous Peoples may have played a role in historical events and legends.
