Yatoʼ Yos, 'Our Grandfather God,' is the supreme and most remote divinity of the Yanesha, occupying the grandfather generation of a pantheon ordered on a three-generation kinship model. At the beginning of time he molded the flat earth and the first beings from a paste of dirt and breast milk obtained from his mother or sister, and by breathing upon them endowed the ancestors of humans, plants, animals and even some objects with a portion of his own divine soul, the camuequeñets. It was he who, in the second cosmic era, sent down the flower that impregnated the mother of the solar divinity Yompor Ror. His name fuses the Yanesha honorific yatoʼ with the Spanish Dios, marking the colonial encounter through which the older high god was recast in Christian terms.
