Agudar ('Creator'[1]) is the creator god in Aleutian mythology. The name is also alternately rendered as Agurur, Agûģuq, Agugux, Agu'gux or Agu'gux'.

Agudar is a universal force, similar to the concept of Great Spirit in other Native American religions.[2] They are believed to be the creator of the universe,[3][4] a hunting deity who watches over animals and hunters,[5] a reincarnation deity and a solar deity.[6][7]

There is not much documented information about Agudar.[8]

Worship and rituals

The worship of Agudar by men and women were performed separately, in sacred places such as caves.[9] Only adult males were allowed in sacred ceremonies.[3] When someone dies, commoners and slaves are cremated, and children and the upper class are mummified by stuffing the body with grass and oil and wrapped in fur before burial.[3][5]

Ioannin Veniaminov, a member of the Russian Orthodoxy, noted a ritual where at dawn everyone would face the sun, open their mouths, and swallow the light because daylight represents life.[4] Stepan Cherepanov noted that when hunting with the Aleut people, they would say a prayer asking for aid.[10]

After the introduction and influence of Russian Orthodoxy,[11] Agudar was also used to refer to the Christian God.[1][12]
