Mastamho, sometimes also referred to as Mustamho, is the creator deity of the first Mohave people along the Colorado River in the Mojave Desert and Colorado Desert.[1] Mastamho is the grandson of the Earth Mother (in South America referred to as Pachamama) and the Sky father.[1]
He was the son of Matavilya and had a sister, Frog Woman, and a brother, Kaatar.[1] Mastamho is pictured on the Blythe Intaglios with stretched arms,[2] which indicates that he protects his people from destruction.[citation needed]
