21:39 Wait, what?! Horse mane braiding is an exact match for little people / goblin lore in Guatemalan *and* Celtic lore... probably anywhere there are horses ☺️
I think the Celts called these beings the "Tuatha Dé Danann."
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but even their names sound slightly similar.
In the tamil language of india 'thaatha' means grandfather. In mayan it means respected elder. Very interesting similarity
In Filipino folklore, we also have Aghoy (helps you find lost things)
, Tahamaling (red complexioned),Mangmangkit (cut trees at your own peril) they are also called Duendes, adapted from the Spanish and become the general term.
Awesome ! What an info. Thanks. We too in India have "Ara-kashu-Amman" which very few know about except in South India. It translates as "Half Coin Mother Goddess" , a half coin literally means half of the single unit of currency from whichever country you belong to. If it's U.S : 50¢ ; EU : 50 Cents ; India : 50 paise ; U.A.E : 50 Fils etc.
By keeping a 50% of a unit currency and praying to Arakash Amman , one is said to get back lost or stolen items. The coin is them given for charity or temple trust for the disabled, children/people with illness etc. In that way there is huge devotion for the Goddess. Love from India.
Braiding the manes of horses is such a fascinatingly specific detail, also present in the lore of the tomte/nisse (Scandinavian), & of the little people (many native North American tribes), & if I remember correctly, also certain types of fair folk (Irish).
What's unique about the Belize mythology along with the sightings is that it's very similar to mythology on Gnomes from other cultures. Mythology teaches that Gnomes are magical creatures with magical powers and very similar to this creature the Belize speak of, very fascinating!!!!
On point! We appreciate the good comment!
I was thinking about that too. Europe also has myths and legends about creatures such as elves, fairies and gnomes. So the fact that they say that this comes from the Mayans and wasn't something that the colonialist Spaniards brought makes it even more fascinating. How did two very distinctly different cultures a world apart from each other come up with very similar creatures? It makes it seem that much more credible to me.
The tata duende reminds me of the fey folk of the British Isles. Especially the braiding of horses' manes.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS ONKY A LOCAL LEGEND IN RURAL GUATEMALA......... ABOUT THE LITTLE PEOPLE AND THE HORSES MANE....
There's no place like Gnome
Oh no Gnome you didn't lol
I think this earth is too old for us to know everything about it.
I believe there are spirits or an energy that connects us all.
Its foolish for us to think everything is scientific is our definition.
It might be explainable by logic but just a different type of logic.
The unexplained is a different type of science that we just don't understand yet.
I do agree., There are places we have not mapped out... Still unknown, and every legend or beliefs all have some element of truth..
Well said Sir. Respect.
Glad u believe in that. Would be really bad if u say it´s a proofen fact.
My Grandfather in Norway believed in tomte (gnome-like tcreatures) so much he had little rock piles in his yard to keep them busy, one morning i woke up and noticed the piles were shifted, it was probably him or a neighbor, was an awesome experience for an 8 year old though.
There is no telling what exists in those forests; forests across the world have hidden animals that are likely horrifying.
I want to move to Belize. I think I would get along well with Tata Duende. As a native Floridian, I grew up in the forests, swamps and in the water. Now there's too many people from out of state, and too many swamps are now shopping malls, Florida is becoming one big city. City life makes me sick 🤮. I've been a fan of bigfoot since I was a child, and I've gotten an interest in these gnome-like creatures in the last few years. I wish the Belize people could learn from Florida's native citizens, and realize how horrible this state has become due to developers and greedy politicians. Let the tourists in, and try to keep them in certain areas, they will bring in money. But don't overdevelop, because you will wind up regretting it.
Thats the problem in many of european citys and landscapes.
Today horrible. Look at oktoberfest. Too many tourists.
Yes, it brings a lot of money.Today for me, and a lot if citizens no place to go.
Man’s biggest mistake in history.
@@taglicherirrsinn5926 Sir but here in EU the coexistence with nature and more traditional styled homes looks fantastic. Why do you say so about the oktoberfest ? Are the festivities environmentally unfriendly ? What's your view on EU development ? Thanks, I was just interested as I stay here in Netherlands and never been to oktoberfest in Germany. I don't drink but I just thought the fest was fun.
"Oh, buy I can see the concrete
Slowly creeping.
Lord take me & mine before that comes!"
Its similar a brazilian indian legend, called Curupira. He had a red hair and turnback feet. He is the protector of jungle animals and nature.
Duende is a goblin, tata is a father figure.
The world is a mosaic, and we need all the colors to complete it. Thank you, for documenting the oral traditions of your country.
There was something very similar that used to chase me down the stairs when I was little. It felt like it's name was hognog, that's what I used to call it.
I don't know about you all, but I BELIZE
Hah, I see what you did there
Hi Diedra
Bad, so bad🥴
Cringe.
Boooooooooooooooo!!!! Super corny!!!
But also as a dad I super appreciate this 🤣🤣
After a little digging, Belize is not the ONLY country believing in Tata Duenda... The Aztec also knew of them. I am curious if the Olmec knew of them, and I haven't found anything as to whether or not the Inca knew of them, though would be interesting to know. It's not just a Belizian belief... And I have heard a Mexican Family in America discussing it, because the "Little People of the Forest", a Native American belief, in America were brought up in conversation.
Same here, these little ppl have a giant matriarch, very beautiful too! Our elders said they would braid horses hairs if they liked them, they would also and have broken horses backs too, if they do not like you.. or If you go to areas they are protecting, we have lots here, very fast, very powerful.
I believe in a lot of things that other people don't. (Just tonight I argued the existence of modern day dinosaurs with the kids while we were having dinner.) But I don't think this one is real. At least not as a flesh and blood being. But I love the story!😁
All myths have to have their roots in something real
I knew a guy in Belize who claimed he had seen tata duende while walking through the woods. His feet pointed backward.
Very interesting! Gorgeous scenery! I really appreciated hearing y'all's encounters and information. Thank you. 🌳🌷💖
my dad had the same incounter as that one lady where rhe gnome was basically mocking her
Shiver should come visit me because my garden is invaded by these gnomes.
I got them all on sale from the local garden supplier.
Tata Duende is like the Alux (in the Yucatan) and the Chaneque (in the Nahua-speaking parts of Mexico). The backward-facing feet is similar to the Sisimite, a bigfoot-type creature in tropical Mexico and Central America. I talk about these creatures on my channel.
Between the Yucatec Maya of Belize and Mexico we have the Alux and the Tata Duende . The Yucatec Maya of Belize know the Tata Duende as Nukux Tat pronounce as "Nukush Tat". Between the Mayas of the peninsula they know them as Tata Balam or Balames . They are seen as guardians of the forest and animals . In my communities the Tata Duende or how we call it Nukux tat are given offerings to ask permission to enter the jungle . They protect us when we go to the jungle also.
a creature willed into reality by thought is known as a TULPA or the tibetan thought monster. this gnome, bloody mary, or even slenderman would be great examples!!
And The Rake.
Duende legend is not limited to Belize.
Best name ever for a monster....
seems like a lot of people "Belize" in this creature...heh...
Really enjoyed this video! Learn about cultures and beliefs!
Being Native American I believe that everything is alive an should be treated with care and we should only take what we need. An replace what we take from the earth. Life is a circle
In nepal we called him baan jhakri. Which means jungle doctor
Hmmm...strange. This "Tata Duende" shares some resemblance to the Celtic beings called the "Tuatha Dé Danann." Even their names sound slightly similar.
The De Danann were supposedly the original inhabitants of Ireland & their descendants became the faire folk/fairies in Celtic mythology.
A gnome? 😂😂😂😂Best get sherlock gnomes on the case 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think it’s great them carrying on with there culture .
Belize: We have more natural diversity than anywhere else! Queensland Australia: Hold my beer......
Imagine if they, by showing that film to the schoolchildren, they are kidnapped one by one, by the Duende
lol I guess that couple owes that poor hunter a deer xD
I live in Central America and I had a thing with a "Duende".... It stole my friends flute. He looked everywhere for it. He said he had seen a duende jumping around his firewood the day before . I had heard they like candy. Its a long story. Eventually I sacrificed a piece of my favorite candy, placed it under the deck, and he gave back the flute, Took a long time. He messed with us. Grandmas say they steal tThings. And so do the Phillipinos!
*wakes up and makes a tea* *puts out feed for the birds on window* greets the other gnomes and gives one of the child gnomes a big hug and rubs top of there head* uncle tata where are you going today? *tata dresses up in horrific costume and puts on an evil face* ho ho little one I'm going out again today to protect our lands and scare the big folk away again.
Is the Tata Duendae like the machio man? Of Mexico These stories facinate me🤗😀
Duwende is also the Filipino term for Dwarves/Gnomes. Goes to show the extent of the Mexican influences in the Philippines and vice versa because of the Manila-Acapulco Galleon trade during the Spanish Colonial Era. Tiangge , Palengke, Nanay and Tatay are just some other Mexican Native American words I know that ended up in the Filipino vocabulary.
No..it's Spanish words
People that study language seem to agree that it appears there may have been a forgotten “mother” culture where we got large chunks of our languages and also the tradition of pyramid building.
Cool came for a monster documentary, got a history lesson instead. Who says UA-cam is rotting your brain? Not this man/him/he/they/fella/guy/Labrador Retriever
This kinda comes off like an "Adventure Travel" infomercial...
I am sure the ancient records were not destroyed. European colonialists often told that lie while quietly shipping the records back to europe, so people wont come looking for them. They did this world wide.
A pint sized gnome that that can run as fast as a car going 45mph, some people will say anything to get out of n MOT lol !
33:00 ish - ahhh, it's the Lorax 👍👍👍
I'd love to go here 🤗🤗🤗
This really is desperate, lake monsters or sasquatches are one thing, but this is comical delusion on a whole new level.
Very interesting documentary while showing the native culture of the people. Beautiful thank you for the video.
The Tata Duende actually seems synonymous with what they call "Odiyan" in India. A short black magician who can shift forms.
Kudra in India.
Believe it or not .....is there..... watching from South Africa....j******sburg....peace!!!!!!!
Mayan??
In Brazil there is a creature called Curupira, who also have inverted feet and live in the forest. Very similar role. It's probably iberian influence mixed with native legends in both cases.
love hearing about this creature, keep him alive
As long as humans are around, cryptids will always "exist".
We have these in Australia also Yowies. Yowiehunters audio witness reports is another great channel
This is more of a Belize tourism/history documentary more than it is anything else.
They're only malevelant to those who don't respect Pacha Mama/Gaia and her forests.
never pay respect to demons and take claim back to your forests for its for the living not the dead. If your garden has weeds you do not let them over take your garden YOU PULL THEM UP AND REMOVE THEM. If demons have overtaken a forest you PULL THEM UP AND REMOVE THEM. When you respect a demon you too become dead a weak person with no authority but a person that walks in fear of which all demons love. Choose life brother not death. If you hear the whistling tell them to be quiet all you want to hear the singing of birds and the warm sun on your face. Choose life brother not death
#TataDuende #Duende #NukuxTat #Goblin #Mythology #Folklore #Legends
Mini Santa and the tooth fairy could help you guys figure out what's going on there you know just a thought
About people, not looking for the monster.
Not often you see stuff from Belize...
interesting the myth of the europen and amerikan little people is almost identical fot examply they also trrimm or braid the hair of horses
Interesting that all but one referred the Tata Duende as "He". And that one refers to the Tata Duende" as "They".
it's a more effective lorax
I enjoyed the documentary except for the narrator who was like trying to make the Tata Duende look like "Evil Monster" . I like you guys got Doña Garcia to give her view on the Tata Duende and show the ritual . Between the Yucatec Maya communities the Tata Duende is known as Nukux Tat and are guardians spirits of the forest ,animals and humans. Some Yucatec Maya of Northern Belize and Cayo still give prayers for the Tata Duende (Nukux Tat) .
FOLKLORE!!!.... and Why Not?! My Mother told me that an uncle of hers woke-up one morning and noticed that his team of horses had been hitched up for the day..... The " Little People" did it! He was Irish! rrc Maine USA
The Leprechauns did it? 😃😁
Or the Elves? Or the Gnomes? 😃😁
Don't get me wrong; I do have respect for all living creatures; whether they're real or even folklore or whatever. God knows I Love & Respect & Care About All Of His Creatures. Amen...🙏💖
Taco taco. Burrito.
It's a jinn
Wow
Of course the crazy alternative medicine American ex pat saw the thing
The good people, the Leprechaun is the same meaning as Tata Duende. The whirlwind, is in the thorn tree.
Oral history as the prayer was read from a sheet of paper. Think you,ll find there's some Irish influence in this.
loled
The Maya people had a writing system and even after the conquest they continue writing books . It's common among the Yucatec Maya elders writing things and leaving it for the new generation to learn them if for encase no one did when they were alive . I'm sure it most have other Influences also the whole world have taken influence from other cultures.
I aint goin gnomewhere where them things r at.. F that 💩 forreal..
I looked for it and looked everywhere.no gnomes.
Backwards feet! That sounds like the chickcharnee of andros Bahamas!
The tat duvende is the spirit if the mushroom. Its not wearing a hat. It is the top cap of a mushroom.
Its worshipped by all south americans . It is the spirit of the forest and gives you life
Myth stories is good for tribes
I’m a very open minded person when it comes to certain phenomena. I 100% believe there’s Sasquatch living, reproducing, I believe there’s other life forms out there (ufo), but I kind of draw the line at certain things like this, but who knows maybe it is a spiritual type of being.
sorry ,saw the heading on this post ,and thought it was about Ellen D.
"Belize is one of the few English-language nations in Latin America". Ahem, that´s because it *isn´t* Latin America by definition...
Since Filipino's know the Duende as well this seems a Spanish introduced myth.
😬 The animation shortcut was very amateurish
I have only one thing to say: not all mushrooms in the jungle are edible, but most of those who were there in front of the camera did not seem to know.
All mushrooms are edible at least once.
This series is a lot of fun.
Complete laugh-out-loud nonsense, but highly entertaining.
MIMIMIMIMIMI
"The only thing we can't give you is snow..."
Aw man I wanted to ski the mountains... Well guess we need to make a new extreme sport... Jungle Mountain Boarding. Just kidding. That's about as smart as charging and jumping off a cliff with NO CLUE what's on the other side, water or rock or trees. I can see someone trying this and a Jaguar showing them why they shouldn't with one swipe. Or those dangerous trees which tend to jump out on you... LOL!!!
I believe the young couple need to stop licking toads
If I was trying to prove the existence of something, not sure I'd pick Catholic saints as my go-to....
My uncle neally got touth he said it came but its in planca8
Sounds to me like someone has been chewing too many cocoa beans
Okay the lady said you can't prove Catholic saints?. Catholic saints were once real people so yeah they were real. People should really think before they open their mouth.
Oh please, you cant prove these poeple were saints in real live. Only christian propaganda.
@@taglicherirrsinn5926 No you can't prove they were Saints in real life. But you can't prove they were real. You need to re-read my comment and free watch the video and then think before you respond. Have a good day
@@ghost72jt she meant the miracles they supposedly did plus there are saints that are disputed. I love it when ignorance thinks itself as knowledge. 😂🤡
@@jameskosusnik1102 well I'm glad you were here to enlighten me on what she meant and not what she said. I love it when people assume they know what they're talking about. Anyway I hope you have a good day
@@ghost72jt funny arent you doing the same. But hey immaturity and ignorance go hand in hand
all myths are real.
The only reason societies cook up stuff like this is to keep people from leaving the community .religions do it like this as well.it doesn't mean there isn't a boogybear.
Ohhhh. K.
It’s basically just a legend. Not like the Yeti or Sasquatch which is basically a ancient human. If it is real it’s a little buttwipe and all you need is 22 rifle or at least a BB gun. 😂
From a scientific point of view there is no such thing. These creatures are simply folklore and legends and not fact based.
Aw yes the atheist who believe in science's absolutism. 🙄 hint its been corrupted by money and politics. Scientific "studies" are often nothing more then either Governmental or Business funded ways of supporting such government or businesses ideals, or beliefs. The current Scientific community is too corrupt for its own good. Its became its own religion.
Interesting but why does the she keep interrupting him?
She keeps cutting him off, he never gets to say rest of what he is trying to say
19:10 so true. The number one killer of beautiful ancient traditions and cultures is Christianity.
What hating God does to a MF
Sounds like the Africans brought the legend of the tokoloshe to there
I like these shows but there's just to many ads had to unsubscribe
"Can't prove saints are real?" LOL! I can not speak for the Catholic Church as I am Christian Baptist. The Bible speaks of demonic interdimensional spirits, the Bible also speaks of those who paid homage to these spirits (they are not of the one true God) yet unfortunately people are allowing themselves and their children to praise these spirits.
