Lenape mythology is based on polytheism. Kishelemukong is the creator god in Lenanpe mythology, not involved in the daily affairs of the Lenape. Instead, he directs the manitowak, the life-spirits of all living things, which were created by Kishelemukong. The manitowak were venerated in ceremonies, rituals, dreams, visions, games and ohtas (see below), as well as through the interventions of the Metinuwak, the shamans who were healers, spiritual and emotional guides, and religious leaders; they could communicate with the manitowak. A nianque is an animal guide, such as in a vision quest.
