==Unetlanvhi==
The Cherokee revere the [[Great Spirit]] Unetlanvhi (ᎤᏁᏝᏅᎯ "Creator"), who presides over all things and created the Earth.<ref name=LewisOrrin>{{cite web|last1=Lewis|first1=Orrin|last2=Redish|first2=Laura|title=Legendary Native American Figures: Unetlanvhi (Ouga)|url=http://www.native-languages.org/morelegends/unetlanvhi.htm|website=Native Languages of the Americas|access-date=23 November 2016}}</ref> The Unetlanvhi is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, and is said to have made the earth to provide for its children, and should be of equal power to Dâyuni'sï, the Water Beetle. The Wahnenauhi Manuscript adds that God is Unahlahnauhi (ᎤᏀᎳᎿᎤᎯ "Maker of All Things") and Kalvlvtiahi (ᎧᎸᎸᏘᎠᎯ "The One Who Lives Above"). In most oral and written Cherokee theology the Great Spirit is not personified as having human characteristics or a physical human form.<ref name=LewisOrrin/>
